Paroles:
Snow Hank My Mother

the cards away My winnings I gave to a newsboy I knew I was wrong from the start But I'll never forget that promise to my mother the Queen of my heart

Written by Del Lyon - Lani McIntire Recorded by Hank Snow It's only a rose from my mother's grave That I'd planted long long ago I pulled it from a stem

Traduction: Neige, Hank. Seule une rose de la tombe de ma mère.

Traduction: Neige, Hank. Je n'oublierai pas la prière de ma mère.

A Mother wrote a letter asking how much longer must I wait Before you send my boy back home to me For my eyes are growing dim and I'm longing for my Jim

My father is a drunkard my mother she is dead And I am just an orphan child no place to lay my head All through this world I wander they drive me from

Hank Snow I traded my saddle for a rifle and left to join the troubled shore I hung my guitar in the attic and laid away my forty four I traded my saddle

my boy your dear old mother's dead The last words your mother ever uttered Were tell my boy I want him to come back My eyes are blurred my poor old

places she's been I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann My Mary had died too sad she
