[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

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]
