C G7 C
I had a home down in Texas
F C
Down where the blue bonnets grew
G7 C
I had the kindest old mother
D7 G7
How happy we were just we two
C G7 C
Till one day the angels called her
C7 F
A debt that we all have to pay
C
She called me close to her bedside
G7 C
To me these words she did say
G7 C
Son don't start drinking and gambling
F C
Promise you'll always go straight
G7 C
Ten years have passed since we parted
D7 G7
My promise I've broke I must say
C G7 C
I started gambling for pastime
C7 F
Soon I was just like them all
C
I bet my clothes and my money
G7 C
Not thinking that I'd ever fall
G7 C
One day I bet all my money
F C
Not a thing was left to be seen
G7 C
All that I needed to break them
D7 G7
Was one card and that was a queen
C G7 C
The cards were dealt round the table
C7 F
Each man took one from the draw
C
I drew the one that would beat them
G7 C
I turned it and here’s what I saw
G7 C
I saw my mother's picture
F C
And to me she seemed to say
G7 C
Son you have broken your promise
D7 G7
So I tossed the cards away
C G7 C
I gave all my winnings to a newsboy
C7 F
I knew I was wrong from the start
C
I'll never forget that promise
G7 C
To my Mother the queen of my heart
