mother, queen of my heart - reg poole lyrics

[verse 1]
i had a home out 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 had to pay
she called me close to her bedside
these last few words for to say

[verse 2]
“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 pastimes
at last, i was just like them all
i bet my clothes and my money
not dreaming that i’d ever fall

[verse 3]
one night, i’d bet all my money
nothing 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 a card on the draw
i drew the one that would beat them
i turned it and here’s what i saw
[verse 4]
a vision of my mother’s picture
somehow, it just 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
