[00:00.00]Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Jimmie Rodgers
[00:19.67]I had a home out in Texas
[00:24.18]Down where the blue bonnet's grew
[00:29.03]I had the kindest old mother;
[00:33.45]How happy we were just we two
[00:38.32]Till one day the angels' called her
[00:42.93]That debt we all have to pay
[00:47.61]She called me close to her bedside
[00:51.80]These last few words to say
[00:57.20]"Son don't start drinking and gambling
[01:02.01]Promise you'll always go straight "
[01:05.99]Ten years have passed since that parting
[01:10.52]That promise I've broke I must say
[01:15.75]I started gambling for pastime
[01:20.27]At last I was just like them all
[01:25.46]I bet my clothes and my money
[01:29.86]Not dreaming that I'd ever fall
[01:53.64]One night I bet all my money
[01:58.34]Nothing was left to be seen
[02:02.83]All that I needed to break them
[02:06.37]Was one card and that was a queen
[02:12.59]The cards were dealt all 'round the table
[02:17.16]Each man took a card on the draw
[02:21.69]I drew the one that would beat them;
[02:25.95]I turned it and here's wat I saw
[02:31.15]I saw my mother's picture
[02:35.90]And somehow she seemed to say
[02:40.81]"Son you have broken your promise "
[02:44.81]So I tossed the cards away
[02:50.17]My winnings I gave to a newsboy
[02:54.83]I knew I was wrong from the start
[02:59.47]And I'll never forget that promise
[03:03.99]To my Mother the queen of my heart
