Mother, Queen Of My Heart (母亲,我心中的女王) - Leon Redbone (蓝蒙·瑞博)[00:00:00]
I had a home out in Texas[00:00:09]
Down where the blue bonnet's grew[00:00:15]
I had the kindest old mother[00:00:22]
How happy we were just we two[00:00:27]
Till one day the angels' called her[00:00:34]
That debt we all have to pay[00:00:39]
She called me close to her bedside[00:00:45]
These last few words to say[00:00:50]
Son don't start drinking and gambling[00:00:56]
Promise you'll always go straight[00:01:02]
Ten years have passed since that parting[00:01:08]
That promise I've broke I must say[00:01:12]
I started gambling for pastime[00:01:20]
At last I was just like them all[00:01:25]
I bet my clothes and my money[00:01:30]
Never dreaming that I'd ever fall[00:01:35]
One night I bet all my money[00:01:42]
Nothing was left to be seen[00:01:47]
All that I needed to break them was one card[00:01:53]
And that was a queen[00:01:59]
The cards were dealt all 'round the table[00:02:03]
Each man took a card on the draw[00:02:09]
I drew the one that would beat them[00:02:14]
I turned it and here's what I saw[00:02:19]
I saw my mother's picture[00:02:25]
And somehow she seemed to say[00:02:30]
Son you have broken your promise[00:02:35]
So I tossed the cards away[00:02:40]
My winnings I gave to a newsboy[00:02:47]
I knew I was wrong from the start[00:02:52]
And I'll never forget that promise[00:02:58]
To my Mother the queen of my heart[00:03:02]
