Recorded by Hank Snow



First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

And the youngest dream of growin' up to ride

On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

No one could change my mind but mama tried

One and only rebel child for my family meek and mild

My mama seemed to know what lay in store

Inspite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

Till 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 pleadings I denied

That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried

Dear old daddy rest his soul left my mama 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...

That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried

  • Rhumba Boogie
    "Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat
    There's no hesitation it's sweepin' the nation
    It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way
    While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana..."
  • Im Movin On
    "That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
    Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
    'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
    You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky..."
  • The Golden Rocket
    "I was a good engine a-runnin' on time
    But baby I'm switchin' to another line
    So honey never hang your signal out for me
    I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track..."
  • Unwanted Sign Upon Your Heart
    "I'm a wonder, I'll keep drifting on
    Can't see, honey, why you done me wrong
    Hard luck sure has got me
    I can't sleep a wink..."
  • Music Makin Mama from Memphis
    "Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans..."
  • The Gold Rush Is Over
    "Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
    Stake out your claim now on some other guy
    I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
    But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on..."
  • I Dont Hurt Anymore
    "It don't hurt anymore
    All my teardrops are dried
    No more walkin' the floor
    With that burnin' inside..."
  • Would You Mind
    "Words & Music by Cy Coben
    Recorded by Hank Snow

    Would you mind if my heart is beating so for you?..."
