Mother The Queen Of My Heart

Written by Hoyt Bryant/Jimmie Rodgers

	  		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
