C G7 C

I had a home down in Texas

F C

Down where the blue bonnets grew

G7 C

I had the kindest old mother

D7 G7

How happy we were just we two

C G7 C

Till one day the angels called her

C7 F

A debt that we all have to pay

C

She called me close to her bedside

G7 C

To me these words she did say

G7 C

Son don't start drinking and gambling

F C

Promise you'll always go straight

G7 C

Ten years have passed since we parted

D7 G7

My promise I've broke I must say

C G7 C

I started gambling for pastime

C7 F

Soon I was just like them all

C

I bet my clothes and my money

G7 C

Not thinking that I'd ever fall

G7 C

One day I bet all my money

F C

Not a thing was left to be seen

G7 C

All that I needed to break them

D7 G7

Was one card and that was a queen
