Oh, Sisters, Deaf To Pity’s Name Lyrics
[MABEL]
Oh, sisters, deaf to pity’s name
For shame!
It’s true that he has gone astray
But pray
Is that a reason good and true
Why you
Should all be deaf to pity’s name?
[Chorus OF GIRLS]
The question is, had he not been
A thing of beauty
Would she be swayed by quite as keen
A sense of duty?
[MABEL]
For shame, for shame, for shame!
Oh, sisters, deaf to pity’s name
For shame!
It’s true that he has gone astray
But pray
Is that a reason good and true
Why you
Should all be deaf to pity’s name?
[Chorus OF GIRLS]
The question is, had he not been
A thing of beauty
Would she be swayed by quite as keen
A sense of duty?
[MABEL]
For shame, for shame, for shame!
