Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Ernest Tubb[00:00:00]
I had a home out in Texas[00:00:05]
Out where the Bluebonnet grew[00:00:10]
I had the kindest mother[00:00:15]
How happy we were just we two[00:00:20]
Till one day the angels called her[00:00:25]
It's the debt that we all have to pay[00:00:30]
She'd call me close to her bedside[00:00:35]
These last few words she did say[00:00:40]
Now son don't start drinking or gambling[00:00:45]
Promise you'll always go straight[00:00:51]
Ten years have passed since that parting[00:00:56]
That promise I've broke I must say[00:01:01]
I started gambling for past time[00:01:06]
At last Lord I was just like them all[00:01:11]
I bet my clothes and my money[00:01:16]
Never dreaming that I'd ever fall[00:01:22]
One night I've bet all my money[00:01:38]
Nothing was left to be seen[00:01:43]
And all that I needed to break them[00:01:48]
Was one card and that was a Queen[00:01:53]
The Cards were delt all round the table[00:01:58]
Each man took a card from the draw[00:02:03]
I drew the one that would beat them[00:02:09]
I turned it here's what I saw[00:02:14]
I saw mama's picture and she seemed to say[00:02:19]
Son you have broken your promise[00:02:30]
Tossed those cards away[00:02:35]
My winnings I gave to a newsboy[00:02:40]
I knew I was wrong from the start[00:02:45]
And I'll never forget that promise[00:02:51]
To mother the Queen of my heart[00:02:56]
