I Saw My Mother's Name - Hank Thompson[00:00:00]

"Your daddy was a gambling man"[00:00:07]

My mother said to me[00:00:13]

"He left me when you were a child[00:00:19]

But he was all this world to me"[00:00:26]

"I know your daddy loved me too[00:00:32]

From tattoo on his arms[00:00:38]

Was a heart of love that bored my name[00:00:45]

And was his good luck charm"[00:00:51]

I didn't heed my mother's words[00:00:57]

To leave the cards alone[00:01:04]

I took to gambling just like Dad[00:01:10]

And left my mother's home[00:01:16]

One night the gang was gathered round[00:01:22]

We dealt the hand of draw[00:01:28]

An old man sat across from me[00:01:35]

And this is what I saw[00:01:41]

From out his sleeve he pulled the card[00:01:47]

And I pulled out my gun[00:01:53]

I shot him dead not knowing then[00:01:59]

What evil I had done[00:02:05]

He fell across the table[00:02:11]

His hands reached out in vain[00:02:17]

His sleeve slipped back and upon his arm[00:02:23]

I could see so plain[00:02:30]

I gazed down at his lifeless arm[00:02:35]

And I hung my head in shame[00:02:42]

For upon his arm was tattooed heart[00:02:48]

And I saw my mother's name[00:02:55]
