Mother, The Queen Of My Heart |
I had a home down in Texas down where the Bluebonnets grew |
I had the kindest old mother how happy we were just we two |
Till one day the angels they called her that debt we all have to pay |
And she’d call me close to her bedside these last few words to say |
Son don’t start drinking and gambling promise you’ll always go straight |
Ten years have passed since that parting that promise I’ve broke I must say |
I started in gambling for past time and then I was just like them all |
I bet my clothes and my money not dreaming that I’d ever fall |
One night I’ve bet all my money nothing was left to be seen |
All I needed to break them was one card and that was a Queen |
The cards were delt round the table each man took a card on the draw |
And I drew the card that would beat them I turned it here’s what I saw |
I saw mother’s picture and somehow she seemed to say |
Son you roken your promise so I threw those cards away |
My winnings I gave to a newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start |
Well I’ll never forget that promise to mother the Queen of my heart |
