Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]
I had a home down in Texas down where the bluebonnets grew[00:00:02]
I had the kindest old mother how happy we were just we two[00:00:11]
Till one day the angels called her that debt we all have to pay[00:00:20]
She'd call me close to her bedside these last few words to say[00:00:29]
Son don't start drinking and gambling promise you'll always go straight[00:00:39]
Ten years have passed as we parted that promise I've broke I must say[00:00:48]
I started gambling for past time at last I was just like them all[00:00:57]
I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I'd ever fall[00:01:06]
One night I've bet all my money nothing was left to be seen[00:01:15]
All that I needed to break them was one card and that was a queen[00:01:24]
The cards were delft round the table each man took a card on the draw[00:01:33]
I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here's what I saw[00:01:42]
I saw my mother's picture somehow she seemed to say[00:01:51]
Son you have broken your promise so I tossed the cards away[00:02:00]
My winnings I gave to a newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start[00:02:09]
I'll never forget that promise to the mother the queen of my heart[00:02:18]
Oh ole e oh ole e oh ole e[00:02:27]
