Mother Was a Lady (Remaster) - Jimmie Rodgers[00:00:00]
Written by:Joseph Stern[00:00:00]
Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day[00:00:06]
While dining they were chatting in a joking of sort way[00:00:15]
There came a pretty waitress to bring the tray of food[00:00:23]
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner sort of rude[00:00:32]
At first she did not notice nor make the least reply[00:00:40]
But one remind was made to her[00:00:48]
Brought teardrops to her eyes[00:00:53]
She turned on her tormentors her cheeks were flaming red[00:01:03]
Approaching as a picture these is the words she said[00:01:11]
My mother was a lady and yours I would allow[00:01:19]
And you may have a sister who needs protection now[00:01:28]
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear[00:01:36]
You would not dare insult me sir if brother jack were here[00:01:45]
The two sat there in silence[00:01:54]
Their heads hung low in shame[00:01:58]
For give me miss we meant no harm[00:02:02]
Pray tell me what is your name[00:02:06]
She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too[00:02:11]
We've been friends for many[00:02:19]
Many years and he oft times speaks of you[00:02:22]
Come go with me when I go back[00:02:28]
And if you'll only wed[00:02:32]
I'll take you to him as my bride[00:02:36]
For I've loved you since you said[00:02:40]
My mother was a lady and yours I would allow[00:02:44]
And you may have a sister who needs protection now[00:02:53]
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear[00:03:01]
You would not dare insult me sir[00:03:10]
If brother jack were here[00:03:14]
