Opener: Sides Face Grand Square
First thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
A young one's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
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
Depite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
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
Allemande left an Weave
I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right (but Mama tried Mama tried)
Swing and Promenade
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried

TAG   Leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried

FIGURE   Heads (sides)  ...  ...  Swing the corner girl and promenade
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
Leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried
