[Verse 1]
                 C7        F
I was seated one day, in a gilded cafe
     C                         G7
In a window that looked on the street
  C              C7        F
A face caught my eye, in a crowd passing by
      C       G            C
And I hastily sprang to my feet

[Verse 2]
                                   F
It was my sister's sad face, I had left home to trace
         C                         G7
Thru her pride she had left us one day
       C               C7     F
And it brought back to me, as plain as could be
   C          G           C
My mother, as I heard her say:

[Pre-Chorus]
C
If you should see your sister
F                  C
Do not reproach or blame
C
Tell her how we've missed her
  D7                G7
I love her just the same

[Chorus]
       C
Say my darling the words that you brought her
F                   E7
Whether in pride or shame
F                       C
Say that she's still my daughter
G            G7       C
Whisper your mother's name

[Verse 3]
                                     F
There were tears on her face, as she passed by the place
      C                     G7
And I hastily sprang to her side
   C                       F
As we walked along, I said Nell we were wrong
       C        G7           C
We are sorry we wounded your pride

[Verse 4]
                                  F
Your sweetheart is true and still waiting for you
       C                      G7
We are willing now you should wed
          C              C7       F
If you'll only come back, you can marry your Jack
    C                G          C
And please your dear mother who said:

[Pre-Chorus]
C                              C7
If you should see your sister
F                  C
Do not reproach or blame
C
Tell her how we've missed her
  D7                G7
I love her just the same

[Chorus]
    C              G              C            C7
Say my darling the words that you brought her
F                   E7
Whether in pride or shame
F                       C
Say that she's still my daughter
G7                    C
Whisper your mother's name
