Lyrics:
Mother, the Queen of My Heart Source: Bob Pfeffer Source's source: Arlo Guthrie Comments: A Jimmy Rodgers song Text: (Capo up to D) C G7 C C7 I had a home down in Texas F C Down where the bluebonnets grew G7 C a I had the kindest old mother D7 G G7 How happy we were, just we two C G7 C Then one day the angels called her C7 F Said they, we'd all have to pay F C a She called me close to her bedside C G7 C These last few words to say Son, don't start drinkin' and gamblin' Promise you'll always go straight Ten years have passed since that parting That promise I broke by mistake I started in gambling for pastime At last I was just like them all I bet my clothes and my money Not dreaming that I'd ever fall One night I bet all my money Nothing was left to be seen And all that I needed to beat them Was one card, and that was the queen The cards were dealt all round the table Each one took a card in the draw And I drew the one that would beat them I turned it and here's what I saw I saw my mother's picture And somehow she seemed to say "Son, you have broken your promise" So I tossed the cards all away The winnings I gave to the newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start And I'll never forget my promise To my mother, the queen of my heart Yodel: C G7 C a D7 G7 C Filename[ mqnheart Rpf ===Document boundary===
