First thing

I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome

Whistle blowin'
On a freight train
Leavin' town

Not knowin'

Where I'm bound
No one

Could change my mind
But Mo ma fried
The one and only

Rebelchnd

From a fa mily

Meek a nd mild
Despite all
My Sunday Ieornin'

With the be!

kept on furnin'
Ma mo fried

To raise me better
But her pleading I denied
That leaves

Only me to blame
'Cause Mo ma fried
Dear old Daddy
Rest his soul

LeH my Mom 0 heavy load
Working hours
Without rest

Wanted me
To have the best
She tried

To raise me right
But I refused
And I turned

Twenfy-one in prison
Doin' life without pa role
No one
Could steer me right

Buf Ma ma fried,
Ma ma fried
Ma mo fried

To raise me heifer
But her pleading I denied
That leaves

Only me to blame
'Cause Mo ma fried
