Songs In The Kitchen

Scott Whitby and Chelsea Stallings, 2023


She hated to cook but she did it anyway

A slave to the kitchen for 3 meals a day

Did all the things a housewife should of done

We wanted for some things, but we didn’t want for love


It's been fifty years but it was yesterday


She sang songs in the kitchen

How Great Thou Art, in her own way

while washing the dishes

tryin' to talk to me about my day

Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it

but I find myself reminiscing

about my mom

singing songs

in the kitchen


And sometimes I'd wake up hearing that sound

Something about her voice I can hear it now

She’d tiptoe to my room and gently cover me

with a quilt she’d made from hand me down things


Our little home felt so sweet

She sang songs in the kitchen

How Great Thou Art, in her own way

while washing the dishes

tryin' to talk to me about my day

Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it

but I find myself reminiscing

about my mom

singing songs

in the kitchen

I wish she could be here so she could see

how something so simple

makes me…

Sing her songs in the kitchen

How Great Thou Art, in her own way

while washing the dishes

just like she did yesterday

Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it

but I find myself reminiscing

about my mom, can't help but sing along!

Singing songs, with her,

in the kitchen
