Daddy does the dishes now
(Alva Brown)

[verse]
Daddy does the dishes now
And straightens my dresser drawers.
He always lets the dog out
Before he mops the floor.
He knows he’ll have to let him in
Before he runs astray.
Daddy does the dishes now
That, momma has gone away.

Chorus:
My Mamma went to heaven
to see her mamma there.
Daddy says she won’t be back
But, we can talk to her in prayer.

Daddy says that Jesus
Wanted her to stay
and for us to go on living
we would meet again someday.
So daddy does the dishes now
That momma has gone away…


Verse 2
Daddy does the laundry now
And packs my lunch for school
And when I go to bed at night
He’ll teach me the golden rule.
He’ll tuck me in and kiss my face
Most of the time we’ll pray
But sometimes he’ll just hold me
And this is what he’ll say.



Chorus repeat:
Your mommas gone to heaven
To see her momma there.
I afraid she won’t be back
But we can talk to her in prayer.

And you know that Jesus
Wanted her to say
For us to go on living
We would meet again someday….

1st Chorus again..

Daddy does the dishes now
That momma has gone away, yes
My daddy does the dishes now
And we’ll meet again someday
