Verse 1:
         C7C7    FF
I was seated one day, in a gilded cafe
   C majorC             G7G7
In a window that looked on the street
 C majorC       C7C7    FF
A augmentedA face caught my eye, in a crowd passing by
   C majorC    G+G      C majorC
And I hastily sprang to my feet

Verse 2:
                  FF
It was my sister's sad face, I had left home to trace
     C majorC             G7G7
Thru her pride she had left us one day
    C majorC        C7C7   FF
And it brought back to me, as plain as could be
  C majorC     G+G      C majorC
My mother, as I heard her say:

Chorus:
C majorC
If you should see your sister
FF         C majorC
Do not reproach or blame
C majorC
Tell her how we've missed her
 D7D7        G7G7
I love her just the same

    C majorC
Say my darling the words that you brought her
FF          E7E7
Whether in pride or shame
FF            C majorC
Say that she's still my daughter
G+G      G7G7    C majorC
Whisper your mother's name

Verse 3:
                   FF
There were tears on her face, as she passed by the place
   C majorC           G7G7
And I hastily sprang to her side
  C majorC            FF
As we walked along, I said Nell we were wrong
    C majorC    G7G7      C majorC
We are sorry we wounded your pride

Verse 4:
                 FF
Your sweetheart is true and still waiting for you
    C majorC           G7G7
We are willing now you should wed
     C majorC       C7C7    FF
If you'll only come back, you can marry your Jack
  C majorC        G+G     C majorC
And please your dear mother who said:

Chorus:
C majorC               C7C7
If you should see your sister
FF         C majorC
Do not reproach or blame
C majorC
Tell her how we've missed her
 D7D7        G7G7
I love her just the same

  C majorC       G+G       C majorC      C7C7
Say my darling the words that you brought her
FF          E7E7
Whether in pride or shame
FF            C majorC
Say that she's still my daughter
G7G7          C majorC
Whisper your mother's name
