Story behind the song
Dottie wrote another interesting and sensitive lyric. I couldn't resist putting it to music.
Lyrics
She bought a dress, a new pair of shoes Daddy knows what he’s supposed to do She made a list of who gets what But Mama doesn’t have a lot Mama’s sick, Daddy’s crying In his heart he knows she’s dying But there’s nothing he can do Lord, I wish it wasn’t true Chorus Ask……… heaven……… to……… wait… I know you’re tired and your work is done But Daddy’s crying and we can’t come. I’m begging you to stay Mama please don’t go away today Inst. She chose Papa’s church to buy her plot That’s where she goes but she don’t go a lot Her friend Jean… will fix her hair And… I know what she wants to wear Her sister Sarah can’t stop crying Hold on Daddy I know you’re trying And I don't know what to do Or what to say to you Chorus Tag I know it won’t be long And Mama won’t be co.....ming’ home. Repeat
