[00:00.00]Mother, The Queen Of My Heart - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)
[00:19.58]I had a home out in Texas
[00:24.17]Down where the blue bonnet's grew
[00:28.86]I had the kindest old mother;
[00:32.73]
[00:33.30]How happy we were just we two
[00:37.25]
[00:38.01]Till one day the angels' called her
[00:42.69]That debt we all have to pay
[00:47.43]She called me close to her bedside
[00:51.41]
[00:51.96]These last few words to say
[00:57.02]"Son don't start drinking and gambling
[01:01.11]
[01:01.67]Promise you'll always go straight"
[01:05.77]
[01:06.37]Ten years have passed since that parting
[01:10.72]That promise I've broke I must say
[01:15.60]I started gambling for pastime
[01:20.13]At last I was just like them all
[01:25.39]I bet my clothes and my money
[01:29.69]Not dreaming that I'd ever fall
[01:34.50]
[01:53.47]One night I bet all my money
[01:57.41]
[01:58.07]Nothing was left to be seen
[02:02.74]And all that I needed to break them
[02:07.10]Was one card and that was a queen
[02:12.16]The cards were dealt all 'round the table
[02:17.02]Each man took a card on the draw
[02:21.77]I drew the one that would beat them;
[02:26.12]I turned it and here's what I saw
[02:30.70]
[02:31.33]I saw my mother's picture
[02:35.71]And somehow she seemed to say
[02:39.83]
[02:40.55]"Son you have broken your promise"
[02:44.47]
[02:45.08]So I tossed the cards away
[02:49.45]
[02:50.11]My winnings I gave to a newsboy
[02:54.69]I knew I was wrong from the start
[02:59.53]And I'll never forget that promise
[03:03.99]To my mother the queen of my heart
