Whisper Your Mother’s Name Songtext
von Hank Snow

I was seated one day in a gilded café
In a window that looked on the street
When a face caught my eye in a crowd passing by
And I instantly sprang to my feet

′Twas my sister's sad face
I had left home to trace
Through her pride she had left us one day
And it brought back to me
As plain as could be my mother, as I heard her say

If you should see your sister
Do not reproach or blame
Tell her how we′ve missed her
I love her just the same


Say, my darling, the words that you brought her
Whether in pride or shame
Tell her she's still my daughter
And whisper your mother's name

There were tears on her face
As she passed by the place and I instantly sprang to her side
As we walked along
I said, "Nell, we were wrong, we are sorry we wounded your pride"

Your sweetheart is true
And still waiting for you, we are willing, now you should wed
If you′ll only come back
You can marry your Jack, and please, your dear mother who said

If you should see your sister
Do not reproach or blame
Tell her how we′ve missed her
I love her just the same

Say my darling, the words you have brought her
Whether in pride or shame
Tell her she's still my daughter
And whisper your mother′s name
