《Mother Was a Lady》歌词

[00:00:00] Mother Was a Lady - Jimmie Rodgers

[00:00:00] Written by：Joseph Stern

[00:00:06] Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day

[00:00:15] While dining they were chatting in a joking of sort way

[00:00:23] There came a pretty waitress to bring the tray of food

[00:00:32] They spoke to her familiarly in a manner sort of rude

[00:00:40] At first she did not notice nor make the least reply

[00:00:48] But one remind was made to her

[00:00:53] Brought teardrops to her eyes

[00:01:03] She turned on her tormentors her cheeks were flaming red

[00:01:11] Approaching as a picture these is the words she said

[00:01:19] My mother was a lady and yours I would allow

[00:01:28] And you may have a sister who needs protection now

[00:01:36] I've come to this great city to find my brother dear

[00:01:45] You would not dare insult me sir if brother jack were here

[00:01:54] The two sat there in silence

[00:01:58] Their heads hung low in shame

[00:02:02] For give me miss we meant no harm

[00:02:06] Pray tell me what is your name

[00:02:11] She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too

[00:02:19] We've been friends for many

[00:02:22] Many years and he oft times speaks of you

[00:02:28] Come go with me when I go back

[00:02:32] And if you'll only wed

[00:02:36] I'll take you to him as my bride

[00:02:40] For I've loved you since you said

[00:02:44] My mother was a lady and yours I would allow

[00:02:53] And you may have a sister who needs protection now

[00:03:01] I've come to this great city to find my brother dear

[00:03:10] You would not dare insult me sir

[00:03:14] If brother jack were here
