My Mother The Queen of my heart

Way down in beautiful Texas where the beautiful

Bluebonnets grow I had a kind old mother

We were happy just we two

Then one day the Angels came for her, a debt we

all have to pay

She called me to her bedside and then these words

to me she did say Son don't start drinking and gambling

promise me you'll always go straight

Ten years have passed since that parting and my promise

to her I did break, fist I started gambling for pass time

soon I was just like them all, I'd bet all my clothes and

my money just for a draw

One night the cards were dealt round the table, I needed

just one card to beat them and that card was a queen

Each man drew just one card

I turned my card over and this is what I saw

I saw my Mothers picture and to me she seemed

to say Son you have broken your promise to me

that you'd always go straight

My winnings I gave to a newsboy, I knew I was

wrong from the start and from that day on I will

always be true to my mother the queen of my  heart
