What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I had a home down in Texas
2
Back where the Bluebonnet grew
3
I had the kindest old mother
4
How happy we were just we two
5
But one day the angels called her
6
This parting we all have to pay
7
She called me close to her bedside
8
And these are the words she did say
9
"Son, don't start drinking and gambling
10
Promise you'll always go straight"
11
Ten years have passed since our parting
12
That promise I've broke I must say
13
I started in gambling for past time
14
At last I was just like them all
15
I bet all my clothes and my money
16
Not dreaming that I'd ever fall
17
One night I've spent all my money
18
Nothing was left to be seen
19
And all that I had for to break them
20
Was one card and that was a Queen
21
Cards were dealt all 'round the table
22
Each man took a card on the draw
23
I drew the one that would break them
24
I turned it and here's what I saw
25
I saw a my mother's picture
26
And somehow it seemed to say
27
"Son, you have broken your promise"
28
Then I threw the cards away
29
My winnings I gave to a newsboy
30
I knew I was wrong from the start
31
But I'll never forget that promise
32
To my mother, the queen of my heart
Mother, The Queen Of My Heart by Jimmie ...
