[00:00.00]Whisper Your Mother's Name (Rodgers) - Jimmie Rodgers
[00:10.71]I was seated one day in a gilded cafe
[00:16.66]In a windows that looked on the street;
[00:21.99]A face caught my eye in a crowd passing by
[00:27.52]And I hastily sprang to my feet
[00:32.47]It was my sister's sad face I had left home to trace;
[00:38.01]Thru her pride she had left us one day
[00:43.51]And it brought back to me as plain as could be
[00:48.84]My mother as I heard her say:
[00:54.18]If you should see your sister
[01:00.01]Do not reproach or blame
[01:05.21]Tell her how we've missed her
[01:09.90]I love her just the same;
[01:14.57]Say my darling the words that you brought her
[01:20.57]Whether in pride or shame
[01:25.45]Say that she's still my daughter
[01:30.79]Whisper your mother's name
[01:47.03]There were tears on her face as she passed by the place
[01:52.38]And I hastily sprang to her side
[01:57.35]As we walked along I said Nell we were wrong
[02:02.91]We are sorry we wounded your pride
[02:08.13]Your sweetheart is true and still waiting for you
[02:13.08]We are willing now you should wed if you'll only come back
[02:20.83]You can marry your Jack and please your dear mother who said:
[02:28.56]If you should see your sister do not reproach or blame
[02:39.67]Tell her how we've missed her
[02:44.37]I love her just the same
[02:48.96]Say my darling the words that you brought her
[02:55.00]Whether in pride or shame
[03:00.14]Say that she's still my daughter
[03:05.45]Whisper your mother's name
