I had a home out in Texas out where the Bluebonnet grew 我有一个家在德州哪里出了矢车菊增长

I had the kindest mother how happy we were just we two 我曾遇到最仁慈的母亲是多么幸福，我们只是我们俩

Till one day the angels called her it's the debt that we all have to pay 直到有一天，天使叫她它的债务，我们都必须付出

She'd call me close to her bedside these last few words she did say 她会叫我靠近她的床边最后这几句话，她也说，

Now son don't start drinking or gambling promise you'll always go straight 现在，儿子不开始饮酒或赌博的承诺，你一定会直奔

Ten years have passed since that parting that promise I've broke I must say 因为这离别这个承诺，我打破了我必须说，十几年过去了

I started drinking for past time at last Lord I was just like them all 我开始喝了过去的时间，最后的主，我跟他们都

I bet my clothes and my money never dreaming that I'd ever fall 我敢打赌，我的衣服，我的钱从来不做梦，我会不断下降

One night I've bet all my money nothing was left to be seen 有一天晚上，我敢打赌，我所有的钱什么也没有留下待观察

All that I needed to break them was one card and that was a Queen 所有我需要打破他们的是一张卡，这是一个女王

Cards were delt all round the table each man took a card from the draw 卡是衣食住行全方位的表中的每个人从抽奖拿了卡

But I drew the one that would beat them I turned it here's what I saw 但我画的那个会打他们，我把它这是我看到的

I saw mama's picture somehow she seemed to say 我看见妈妈的照片不知怎的，她仿佛在说

My winnings I gave to a newsboy cause I knew I was wrong from the start 我的奖金我给了一个报童，因为我知道我错了，从一开始

And I'll never forget that promise to mother the Queen of my heart 我永远不会忘记承诺的妈妈我的心脏女王
