Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)

I had a home out in Texas

Down where the blue bonnet's 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 called 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 parting

That promise I've broke I must say

I started gambling for pastime

At last I was just like them all

I bet my clothes and my money

Not dreaming that I'd ever fall

One night I 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 dealt all 'round the table

Each man took a card on 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 somehow she seemed to say

"Son you have broken your promise"

So I tossed the 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
