MY SISTER MAMIE'S HAT. Copyright, 1893, by Geo. Southgate. Words and Music by Geo. Southgate. 
You should see my sister's hat, it's a dandy, you can bet; A rooster's wing is on the side, red streamers down the back; 'Tis decked with all the flowers of spring; it makes a splendid show; On the top of all there is a blue-jay and a crow. 
Chorus. If you see if, you will know it; it's a dandy, you can bet; Every one is talking of my sister Mamie's hat. 
She went to the theatre; as she walked to her seat, The ladies all stood up to look, the men stood on the seats; The singer singing of the flowers her part she did forget; Quite amazed, she fixed her gaze on sister Mamie's hat.- Chorus. 
Sunday she went off to church; as she walked up the aisle. The pastor let his book fall, the young folks there did smile; His sermon he could not complete; he'd lost the text, in fact; Every eye was fixed upon my sister Mamie's hat.- Chorus.
