《Mother， The Queen Of My Heart》歌词

[00:00:00] Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:02] I had a home down in Texas down where the bluebonnets grew

[00:00:11] I had the kindest old mother how happy we were just we two

[00:00:20] Till one day the angels called her that debt we all have to pay

[00:00:29] She'd call me close to her bedside these last few words to say

[00:00:39] Son don't start drinking and gambling promise you'll always go straight

[00:00:48] Ten years have passed as we parted that promise I've broke I must say

[00:00:57] I started gambling for past time at last I was just like them all

[00:01:06] I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I'd ever fall

[00:01:15] One night I've bet all my money nothing was left to be seen

[00:01:24] All that I needed to break them was one card and that was a queen

[00:01:33] The cards were delft round the table each man took a card on the draw

[00:01:42] I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here's what I saw

[00:01:51] I saw my mother's picture somehow she seemed to say

[00:02:00] Son you have broken your promise so I tossed the cards away

[00:02:09] My winnings I gave to a newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start

[00:02:18] I'll never forget that promise to the mother the queen of my heart

[00:02:27] Oh ole e oh ole e oh ole e
