[00:00.00]Jimmie Rodgers - Mother Was a Lady(Remastered)
[00:06.26]Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day
[00:14.75]While dining they were chatting in a joking of sort way
[00:23.24]There came a pretty waitress to bring the tray of food
[00:31.71]They spoke to her familiarly in a manner sort of rude
[00:40.18]At first she did not notice nor make the least reply
[00:48.75]But one remind was made to her
[00:52.89]Brought teardrops to her eyes
[01:02.48]She turned on her tormentors her cheeks were flamin' red
[01:11.33]Approaching as a picture these're the words she said
[01:19.53]My mother was a lady and your's I would allow
[01:28.06]And you may have a sister who needs protection now
[01:36.51]I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
[01:45.50]You would not dare insult me sir if brother Jack were here
[01:53.75]The two sat there in silence
[01:57.95]Their heads hung low in shame
[02:02.21]Forgive me miss we meant no harm
[02:06.53]Pray tell me what is your name
[02:10.64]She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too
[02:19.57]We've been friends for many
[02:22.02]Many years and he oft times speaks of you
[02:27.77]Come go with me when I go back
[02:31.92]And if you'll only wed
[02:36.24]I'll take you to him as my bride
[02:40.33]For I've loved you since you said
[02:44.73]My mother was a lady and your's I would allow
[02:53.28]And you may have a sister who needs protection now
[03:01.66]I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
[03:10.73]You would not dare insult me sir
[03:14.71]If brother Jack were here
