Music by Mel Knoblett
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| Mama I t | ried to make it w | ork, but she d | idn't seem to c | are |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| And, she h | urt me M | ama - | more than my heart can b | ear. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| As I s | it here in the d | arkness, and the t | ears roll from my e | yes, |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| I truly did l | ove her, | Mama I t | ried. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| It's so hard to m | ake it, when t | wo becomes just o | ne |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| And everything I l | ive fore, | begins to come und | one. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| My poor heart is b | reaking, the p | ain I can not h | ide |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| I truly did l | ove her, | Mama I t | ried. |
| G | A | D |
| I really thought she w | as the one, the g | irl that I dreamed of. |
| G | A | D |
| I never wanted a | nother girl, | she was the one I loved. |
| G | A | D | Bm |
| But, she seemed to e | njoy breaking my h | eart, I can't de | ny |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| But, I truly did l | ove her, M | ama I t | ried. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| It's finally o | ver, | she's really gone for g | ood. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| I asked the Judge f | or my son, Thank the L | ord he said I c | ould. |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| M | ama, you know it still h | urts me and t | hat is no l | ie |
| D | Cadd9 | G | D |
| I reallly did l | ove her, But, M | ama I t | ried. |
