Jimmie Rodgers - Whisper Your Mother's Name lyrics

I was seated one day in a gilded cafe In a windows that looked on the street; A face caught my eye in a crowd pa**ing by And I hastily sprang to my feet It was my sister's sad face I had left home to trace; Thru her pride she had left us one day And it brought back to me as plain as could be My mother, as I heard her say: If you should see your sister Do not reproach or blame Tell her how we've missed her I love her just the same; Say, my darling, the words that you brought her Whether in pride or shame Say that, she's still my daughter Whisper your mother's name There were tears on her face as she pa**ed by the place And I hastily sprang to her side As we walked along, I said Nell, we were wrong We are sorry we wounded your pride Your sweetheart is true and still waiting for you We are willing now you should wed if you'll only come back You can marry your Jack and please your dear mother who said: If you should see your sister, do not reproach or blame Tell her how we've missed her I love her just the same Say, my darling, the words that you brought her Whether in pride or shame Say that, she's still my daughter Whisper your mother's name
