Greetings Jean1:
Your clarification helped a great deal and I believe you are seeking
The Maddox Brothers and Rose, a hillbilly/rockabilly band. While I
was unable to locate the specific lyrics you seek, I hope you will
accept the research below as an answer that includes where to purchase
various albums by them. Your question is fairly priced yet I do not
have the time to invest to listen to all the songs online to see if
that lyric line is present. I was unable to locate lyrics from them
mentioning the line you gave as an example.
To read about the group, please see "The Maddox Brothers and Rose"
biography at
http://www.rockabillyhall.com/MaddoxRose.html
I found six music CD song lists that specifies a person can listen to
a part of each track. Perhaps hearing the music will help you
identufy which song was about the brothers taking care of Rose:

"During the war, at her mother's urging, she had married a man named
E.B. Hale, who got her pregnant and then suddenly began insisting the
baby wasn't his. He sent her home to her mother. They never lived
together again. "I was all of sixteen," she says. "Mama thought I
should get married. It was the war and Mama thought somebody should
take care of me. He's dead and I'd just as soon not talk about him."

I also used the search term
"rose maddox" "watch over me"
but located nothing there either. She may have once covered the song
"Someone To Watch Over Me" on live radio and mentioned her 3 brothers
during the song but I found no evidence of that either.

I just thought to search the US Copyright Office for songs copyrighted
by Rose. I found 71 records. To see them, go to
http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html and click on Author, then
enter
Maddox, Rose
into the search box. It will take you to the records and then you may
click to view the entire list. One of the titles might ring a bell if
she, indeed, wrote the song you're seeking.

I just saw Markj's entry and you may also see that from the Music
Stack link I provided above. The link to directly buy that song is
http://www.musicstack.com/item.cgi?item=5015979 The Music Stack is
for rare and out-of-print recordings. However, this did not mention
three brothers, but four.
