Her Mother's Daughter
See the sweet and genteel lady So finely boned and frail See her every morning
At the window with her knitting Where she spends the hours sitting While she waits For advertisements in the mail
See the genteel lady Sipping lemonade with lime Once she wanted princes
Out of tales that happily ended Now the grocery clerk befriended Her cat and she was Grateful for his time
You'll grow into a beauty Her mother always said So take your time in choosing The boy whom you will wed
Is this the right one, mother? Oh no, my daughter dear There will be someone better Wait another year
Is this the right one, mother? The husband that I seek No, he's hardly good enough my child Wait another week
Her father died one winter もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com And was swiftly laid away Oh mother, may I marry now? No, I need you, stay
I beg you, darling daughter I cannot be alone If you love me, you will stay If you love me, stay with me at home
Damn you, mother how I hate you You will never know how deep I must cling till you release me I could kill you in your sleep
I would smile to watch your life blood Creep across your wretched hair Yes, of course, I love you mother I'll never leave you dear, I swear
See the sweet and genteel lady She buys beribboned toys And visits dull relations To applaud piano pieces
Played by nephews and by nieces She listens in on other people's joys And look longingly At all the passing you boys
Yes, of course, I love you mother I'll never leave you dear, I swear
