Mother The Queen Of My Heart — текст песни (Jerry Lee Lewis)

I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet grew
I had the kindest mother how happy we were just we two
Till one day the angels called her it`s the debt that we all have to pay
She`d call me close to her bedside these last few words she did say
Now son don`t start drinking or gambling promise you`ll always go straight
Ten years have passed since that parting that promise I`ve broke I must say
I started drinking for past time at last Lord I was just like them all
I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I`d ever fall
One night I`ve 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
Cards were delt all round the table each man took a card from the draw
But I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here`s what I saw
I saw mama`s picture somehow she seemed to say
Son you have broken your promise I tossed those cards away
My winnings I gave to a newsboy cause I knew I was wrong from the start
And I`ll never forget that promise to mother the Queen of my heart
