Mother The Queen Of My Heart — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet grew
I had the kindest old mother how happy we were just we two
Then one day the angels called her a debt we all have to pay
She`d call me close to her bedside these last few words to say
Son don`t start drinking and gambling promise you`ll always go straight
Ten years have passed since that promise the promise I thought I`d never break
Then I started drinking for past time and soon I was bad as them all
At cards I was king of the tables never dreaming that I`d ever fall
Then one night I sat at the table the big game was down to a draw
And I drew the one that would beat them but I turned it and here`s what I saw
I saw the sad face of my mother and somehow she seemed to say
My son you have broken your promise you made me when I went away
I gave all my wins to a newsboy went straight home and burned all the cards
And I`ll never forget that last promise to my mother the Queen of my heart
