[Verse]
I had a home down in Texas
Down where the bluebonnets grew
I had the kindest old mother
How happy we were, just we two
Till one day the angels called her
That 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 we parted
That promise I broke, I must say
I started gambling for pastime
At last, I was just like them all
I bet my clothes and my money
Never dreaming that I'd ever fall
One night I bet all my money
Nothing was left to be seen
All that I needed to break even
Was one card and that was a queen
I had a home down in Texas
Down where the bluebonnets grew
I had the kindest old mother
How happy we were, just we two
Till one day the angels called her
That 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 we parted
That promise I broke, I must say
I started gambling for pastime
At last, I was just like them all
I bet my clothes and my money
Never dreaming that I'd ever fall
One night I bet all my money
Nothing was left to be seen
All that I needed to break even
Was one card and that was a queen
