Mother the Queen of My Heart - Ernest Tubb

I had a home down in Texas down

Where the Bluebonnets grew

I had the kindest old mother

How happy we were just we two

Till one day the angels called her

That debt we all have to pay

She'd call me close to

Her bedside these last few words to say

Now son don't start drinking and gambling promise

You'll always go straight

Ten years have passed since that parting

That promise I've broke I must say

I started in gambling for past time

And last I was just like them all

I bet all my clothes and my money

Not dreaming that I'd ever fall

One night I've bet all my money

Nothing was left to be seen

And all that I needed to break them

Was one card and that was a Queen

The cards were delt round

The table each man took a card on the draw

I drew the one that would beat them

I turned it that here's what I saw

I saw my mother's picture

And somehow she seemed to say

Son you have roken your promise so

I told those cards away

My winnings I gave to a newsboy

I knew I was wrong from the start

And I'll never forget that promise

To my mother the Queen of my heart
