Marty Robbins - My Mother Was A Lady Lyrics
Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day
While dining they were chatting in a joking sort of way
There came a pretty waitress to bring a tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner that was rude
When somethin' that was said to her brought a teardrop to her eye
She turned on her tormentors, her cheeks were blushing red
Approaching as a picture and this is what she said
My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here
The two sat there in silence, their heads hung low in shame
She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too
We've been friends for many, many years and he ofttimes speaks of you
Come go with me when I go back and if you'll only wed
I'll take you to him as my bride, for I've loved you since you said
My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here

Marty Robbins My Mother Was A Lady Comments
Just wonderful
What a great performer, & songwriter. Always loved his & Jim Reeves' music when I was a kid. There just aren't entertainers like those greats of their era. Lost Jennings, now Haggard & no one to replace them, either. And I don't think Gene Watson is recording any longer. Nothing but moldy oldies now.
Love listen to Marty Robbins..
I grew up listening to my mother sing this song, and it has been in my head all week. Had to look to find the lyrics and stumbled on this. Love Marty Robbins singing it, almost as good as mom!
just love this song from marty the best ever singer love him
Very nice song !!!!!!
There's a new book out now called "Twentieth Century Drifter" that you should check out. I know it's a bit late after four years but I thought I would let you know anyhow.
Cass McCombs' "Bobby King of Boys Town" brought me here!
awesome! drummers had a bad reputation back then and it was usually deserved. they were notoriously mouthy and disrespectful.
...marty sings this way better than jimmy rodgers
I miss Marty in 1982 From Ken

Didn't Tompaul Glaser sing this too?

Encore une merveilleuse ballade ......
