《I Saw My Mother’s Name》歌词

[00:00:00] I Saw My Mother's Name - Hank Thompson

[00:00:07] "Your daddy was a gambling man"

[00:00:13] My mother said to me

[00:00:19] "He left me when you were a child

[00:00:26] But he was all this world to me"

[00:00:32] "I know your daddy loved me too

[00:00:38] From tattoo on his arms

[00:00:45] Was a heart of love that bored my name

[00:00:51] And was his good luck charm"

[00:00:57] I didn't heed my mother's words

[00:01:04] To leave the cards alone

[00:01:10] I took to gambling just like Dad

[00:01:16] And left my mother's home

[00:01:22] One night the gang was gathered round

[00:01:28] We dealt the hand of draw

[00:01:35] An old man sat across from me

[00:01:41] And this is what I saw

[00:01:47] From out his sleeve he pulled the card

[00:01:53] And I pulled out my gun

[00:01:59] I shot him dead not knowing then

[00:02:05] What evil I had done

[00:02:11] He fell across the table

[00:02:17] His hands reached out in vain

[00:02:23] His sleeve slipped back and upon his arm

[00:02:30] I could see so plain

[00:02:35] I gazed down at his lifeless arm

[00:02:42] And I hung my head in shame

[00:02:48] For upon his arm was tattooed heart

[00:02:55] And I saw my mother's name
