《My Mother Was A Lady》歌词

[00:00:00] My Mother Was A Lady - Johnny Cash

[00:00:10] Two drummers sat at dinner in a grand hotel one day

[00:00:18] While dining they were chatting in a jolly sort of way

[00:00:27] When a pretty waitress brought them a fancy tray of food

[00:00:35] They spoke to her familiarly in a manner rather rude

[00:00:43] At first she did not notice or make the least reply

[00:00:52] But one remark was passed that brought teardrops to her eyes

[00:00:59] And facing her tormentors with cheeks now burning red

[00:01:08] She looked the perfect picture as appealingly she said

[00:01:16] My Mother was a lady and yours you will allow

[00:01:24] And you may have a sister who needs protection now

[00:01:32] I've come to this great city to find a brother dear

[00:01:40] And you'd dare not insult me sir if Jack were only here

[00:01:51] It's just one touch of nature

[00:01:55] But it makes the whole World kin

[00:01:59] And every word she uttered seemed to touch their hearts within

[00:02:07] They sat there stunned in silence until one cried in shame

[00:02:15] Forgive me miss I meant no harm pray tell me what's your name

[00:02:25] She told him and he cried I know your brother too

[00:02:33] Why we've been friends for many years and he often speaks of you

[00:02:41] He'll be so glad to see ypu and if you'll only wed

[00:02:49] I'll take you to him as my wife for I've loved you since you said

[00:02:57] My Mother was a lady like yours you will allow

[00:03:05] And you may have a sister who needs protection now

[00:03:13] I've come to this great city to find a brother dear

[00:03:21] And you'd dare not insult me sir if Jack were only here
