Stonewall Jackson Mother the Queen of my Heart Lyrics:
I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet
grew I had the kindest old mother how happy we
were just we two Then one day the angels called
her a debt we all have to pay She'd call me close
to her bedside these last few words to say Son
don't start drinking and gambling promise you'll
always go straight Ten years have passed since
that promise the promise I thought I'd never break

Then I started drinking for past time and soon I
was bad as them all At cards I was king of the
tables never dreaming that I'd ever fall Then one
night I sat at the table the big game was down to
a draw And I drew the one that would beat them but
I turned it and here's what I saw I saw the sad
face of my mother and somehow she seemed to say My
son you have broken your promise you made me when
I went away I gave all my wins to a newsboy went
straight home and burned all the cards And I'll
never forget that last promise to my mother the
Queen of my heart
