--
[C]I had a [G7]home down in [C]Texas
[F]Down where the blue bonnets [C]grew
I [G7]had the kindest old [C]mother
[D7]How happy we were just we [G7]two

[C]Till one day the [G7]angels called [C]her
A debt that we [C7]all have to [F]pay
She called me close to her [C]bedside
To me these [G7]words she did [C]say

Son don't start [G7]drinking and [C]gambling
[F]Promise you'll always go [C]straight
[G7]Ten years have passed since we [C]parted
[D7]My promise I've broke I must [G7]say

[C]I started [G7]gambling for [C]pastime
Soon I was just [C7]like them [F]all
I bet my clothes and my [C]money
Not thinking [G7]that I'd ever [C]fall

One day I [G7]bet all my [C]money
[F]Not a thing was left to be [C]seen
[G7]All that I needed to break [C]them
[D7]Was one card and that was a [G7]queen

[C]The cards were [G7]dealt round the [C]table
Each man took [C7]one from the [F]draw
I drew the one that would [C]beat them
I turned it and [G7]here?s what I [C]saw

I saw my [G7]mother's [C]picture
[F]And to me she seemed to [C]say
[G7]Son you have broken your [C]promise
[D7]So I tossed the cards [G7]away

[C]I gave all my [G7]winnings to a [C]newsboy
I knew I was [C7]wrong from the [F]start
I'll never forget that [C]promise
To my Mother [G7]the queen of my [C]heart
