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 called her that debt we all have to pay |
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 as we parted that promise I’ve broke I must say |
I started gambling for past time at last I was just like them all |
I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I’d ever fall. |
One night I’ve bet all my money nothing was left to be seen |
All that 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 |
I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here’s what I saw. |
I saw my mother’s picture somehow she seemed to say |
Son you have broken your promise so I tossed the cards away |
My winnings I gave to a newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start |
I’ll never forget that promise to the mother the Queen of my heart. |
Oh le-ee oh le-ee oh le-ee… |
