Verse 2
At first she did not notice
Nor make the least reply (G major)
When somethin' that was said to her
Brought teardrops to her eyes (C major)
She turned on her tormentors
Her cheeks were flamin' red (F major)
Approaching as a picture (C major) these are (G major)
The words she said
(C major)
Verse 3
My Mother was a lady and yours,
I would allow (G major)
You may have a sister
Who needs protection now (C major)
I've come to this great city
To find my brother dear (F major)
You would not dare in (C major) sult me, sir
If brother (G major) Jack were here (C major)
The (G major) two (C major) sat there in silence
Their heads hung low in shame (F major)
Forgive us, miss, we meant no (C major) harm
Pray tell (G major) us what is your name (C major)
She told him and he cried aloud
I know your brother too (G major)
We've been friends for many
Many years and he ofttimes
speaks of you
(C major)

I would al (G major) low
You may have a sister
Who needs protection now (C major)
I've come to this great city
To find my brother dear (F major)
You would not dare in (C major) sult me, sir
If (G major) brother Jack were (C major) here
