My Mother Was A Lady Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two drummers sat at dinner in a grand hotel one day
While dining, they were chatting in a jolly sort of way
When a pretty waitress brought them a fancy tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner rather rude
At first, she did not notice or make the least reply
But one remark was passed that brought teardrops to her eyes
And facing her tormentor with cheeks now burning red
She looked a perfect picture, as appealingly she said:

[Chorus]
"My mother was a lady and yours you will allow
And you may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find a brother dear
And you'd dare not insult me, sir, if Jack were only here"

[Verse 2]
It's just one touch of nature, but it makes the whole world kin
And every word she uttered seemed to touch their hearts within
They sat there stunned in silence, until one cried in shame
"Forgive me, miss. I meant no harm. Pray tell me, what's your name?"

[Verse 3]
She told him and he cried, "I know your brother too
Why, we've been friends for many years and he often speaks of you
He'll be so glad to see you and if you'll only wed
I'll take you to him as my wife, for I loved you since you said:

[Chorus]
'My mother was a lady, like yours, you will allow
And you may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find a brother dear
And you'd dare not insult me, sir, if Jack were only here'"
