Chords for Marty Robbins Sings 'My Mother Was A Lady.'

_ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ Two drummers they were seated _ in a grand hotel one [G#] day
[F#] While dining they [C#] were chatting _ [D#] in a sort of [G#] joking way
_ [C#] There came a pretty _ waitress to bring a tray of food
_ [F#] They spoke to her _ [C#] _ familiarly in [G#] a manner sort [C#] of rude
_ At first she did not notice nor make the least reply _
[F#] When something that [C#] was said to her [G#] brought tear drops to [C#] her eyes _
She turned on her _ tormentors, her cheeks were flaming [G#] red
_ _ [F#] Approaching as [C#] a picture, _ _ [G#] these are the words she said
_ My mother was a lady _ and yours I would allow
_ _ You may have a sister _ who needs _ [C#] protection now
_ I've come to this great city _ to find my [F#] brother dear
_ You would not dare [C#] insult me sir if [G#] brother _ [C#] Jack were here
_ The two sat there in silence, their heads hung low in shame
_ [F#] Forgive us miss we [C#] meant no harm, [G#] pray tell us what [C#] is your name
_ She told him and he cried out loud, I know your [F#] brother too
_ _ _ [A#m] We've been friends for [C#] many many years [G#] and the off time [C#] speaks of you
Come go with me when I go back and if you'll [F#] only wait
I'll take you to him [C#] as my bride, [G#] I've loved you since [C#] you said
_ My mother was a lady _ and yours I would [G#] allow
_ You may have a sister _ who needs _ [C#] protection now
_ I've come to this great city _ to find my [F#] brother dear
_ You wouldn't dare [C#] insult me sir [G#] if brother _ [C#] Jack were here _ _ _ _ _
