《My Mother Was A Lady》歌词

[00:00:00] My Mother Was A Lady - Beatrice Kay

[00:00:13] Two drummers sat at dinner

[00:00:15] In a grand hotel one day

[00:00:18] While dining they were chatting

[00:00:20] In a jolly sort of way

[00:00:22] And when a pretty waitress brought them

[00:00:25] A tray of food

[00:00:27] They spoke to her familiarly

[00:00:30] In manner rather rude

[00:00:33] At first she did not notice

[00:00:35] Them or make the least reply

[00:00:37] But one remark was passed that

[00:00:40] Brought the teardrops to her eyes

[00:00:47] And facing her tormentors

[00:00:49] With cheeks now burning red

[00:00:52] She looked a perfect picture

[00:00:54] As appealingly she said

[00:01:00] Oh my mother was a lady like yours

[00:01:05] You willing allow

[00:01:08] And you may have a sister

[00:01:11] Who needs protection now

[00:01:14] I've come to this great city

[00:01:19] To find a brother dear

[00:01:22] And you wouldn't dare insult me sir

[00:01:26] If Jack were only here

[00:01:36] It's true one touch of nature

[00:01:38] It makes the whole world kin

[00:01:40] And every word she uttered

[00:01:42] Seemed to touch their hearts within

[00:01:45] They sat there stunned in silence

[00:01:47] Until one cried in shame

[00:01:50] Forgive me miss I meant no harm

[00:01:54] Pray tell me what's your name

[00:01:58] She told him and he cried again

[00:02:00] I know your brother too

[00:02:03] Why we've been friends for many years

[00:02:06] And he often speaks of you

[00:02:12] He'll be so glad to see you and if you'll only wed

[00:02:17] I'll take you to him as my wife for

[00:02:22] I've love you since you said

[00:02:26] My mother was a lady like yours

[00:02:32] You will allow

[00:02:34] And you may have a sister

[00:02:38] Who needs protection now

[00:02:42] I've come to this great city

[00:02:46] To find a brother dear

[00:02:50] And you wouldn't dare insult me sir

[00:02:55] If Jack were only here

[00:03:00] If Jack were only here
