Rhonda Vincent - Mama Tried Lyrics
The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried

I don't hear anything blue Grass Roots in this version, Melody and rythm same style same only difference is female..
all and all Rhonda was still great
Very very good cover... From France
beautiful
I had the radio on and heard a pretty voice. Grabbed a couple of lyrics, looked up the song, and discovered Rhonda. (Ain't the internet great?) I wanted to find a live performance instead of just off a record.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! Even when I don't hear it for years, I still remember every word.
I'm glad to have discovered this singer. I will be checking out more of her work. She's got a gorgeous voice!
She is so great, Can't wait to see her in the bluegrass festival in my local town TOMORROW! lol
Good voice, but she has altered the melody too much for my liking.
Love rhonda.. Thanks for all good music 2019 god bless

Great tribute to Merle. I learned to play acoustic guitar on them old songs & this is the first one of Merle’s I learned on. So easy to learn to play from. I love it

Snook.
This Woman couldn't sing bad if she tried.!
Guess this is not the bluegrass version. I like this one better anyhow.
She makes me get butter flies!
Great job and tribute to Merle.
A great cover of one of the Hags song great job Rhonda.
Rhonda so talented and can even sing a man's song makin us believe! No better technical.vocalist in bluegrass. She has taken her gifts as vocalist and musician to aspiring heights. Also in love with both Vincent and partner. What a special family, but have one question, what makes mum smile?
There’s got to be a reggae version. If this.
Sexxxxyyyyy!!!!
A great singer Rhonda, always make country music sound so well.
Класс
Good Job.
Mammmmma trieeeeeewwd. Oh Yeah. Always merle in my mind
Sing On Rhonda.
Just met her last night at Renfro Valley KY. What a great singer and person.
Sounds really good, but exactly how is this a bluegrass version?
Whoa whoa whoa!!!...
awesome....
The first thing I remember knowing,
Was a lonesome whistle blowing,
And a young un's dream of growing up to ride,
On a freight train leaving town,
Not knowing where I'm bound,
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
One and only rebel child,
From a family, meek and mild,
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite my Sunday learning,
Towards the bad, I kept turning
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul,

No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried,
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied

Wonderful .
The last I heard she still around and playing a lot of concerts it's good to hear somebody play real country
Just saw her live on Saturday with the Rage. Amazing, amazing musical experience - just perfect quality music and a great show.
Who are the 4 queers that gave a thumbs down.
pay zero attention-
They are everywhere today
Rhonda your good
She sure did
Yep she can SANG
Rhonda Vincent incredible VOICE nailed it
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters
That grandmother sing
I love Rhonda. You are as beautiful as your voice.
Very good job.
Super. Merle would like it ,
Love her golden voice very best pure country music,,???
One of the BEST 5******
What a beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice.
wow !!!!!!!!!!!
This woman is Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the world would have been much smaller without a woman of that talent. she is a musical talent and knows how to suck everyone with talent for her band, first of all her respect for the talent of others and to make the group a whole, is absolutely amazing and what creates music of the quality they deliver. So those who have the honor of being in the band need no honors. I hope she grows enormously old with the same commitment. I bow in the dust and show the utmost respect, she is the best.
Great tribute to Merle, Rhonda looks great and sounds great. Tummy tuck and boob job or not...
Some others need a brain transplant...
Great job, I love pure country
Our interest is keeping good music like this alive (and available) on the internet.
