Mother the queen of my heart şarkı sözleri

I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet grew I had the kindest mother how happy we were just we two Till one day the angels called her it's the debt that we all have to pay She'd call me close to her bedside these last few words she did say Now son don't start drinking or gambling promise you'll always go straight Ten years have passed since that parting that promise I've broke I must say I started drinking for past time at last Lord 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 Cards were delt all round the table each man took a card from the draw But I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here's what I saw I saw mama's picture somehow she seemed to say Son you have broken your promise I tossed those cards away My winnings I gave to a newsboy cause I knew I was wrong from the start And I'll never forget that promise to mother the Queen of my heart
