Lyrics Mother, the Queen of My Heart - Jimmie Rodgers
I
had
a
home
down
in
Texas
Down
where
the
blue
bonnets
grew
I
had
the
kindest
old
mother
How
happy
we
were
just
we
two
Till
one
day
the
angels
called
her
A
debt
that
we
all
have
to
pay
She
called
me
close
to
her
bedside
To
me
these
words
she
did
say
Son
don't
start
drinking
and
gambling
Promise
you'll
always
go
straight
Ten
years
have
passed
since
we
parted
My
promise
I've
broke
I
must
say
I
started
gambling
for
pastime
Soon
I
was
just
like
them
all
I
bet
my
clothes
and
my
money
Not
thinking
that
I'd
ever
fall
One
day
I
bet
all
my
money
Not
a
thing
was
left
to
be
seen
All
that
I
needed
to
break
them
Was
one
card
and
that
was
a
queen
The
cards
were
dealt
round
the
table
Each
man
took
one
from
the
draw
I
drew
the
one
that
would
beat
them
I
turned
it
and
here's
what
I
saw
I
saw
my
mother's
picture
And
to
me
she
seemed
to
say
Son
you
have
broken
your
promise
So
I
tossed
the
cards
away
I
gave
all
my
winnings
to
a
newsboy
I
knew
I
was
wrong
from
the
start
I'll
never
forget
that
promise
To
my
Mother
the
queen
of
my
heart
