There’s a man that comes to our house every single day
Pappa comes home when the man goes away
Pappa does the work and Mamma gets the pay
And the man comes around when Pappa goes away
People…I need the rest of the words.
It’s by the Sweet Violet Boys, and I can’t find out anything else about it. There might be an audio version here…
Is it the milkman?
It’s almost certainly not a contractor.
Not the milk man, I aso remember:
The man that comes to our house is very nice.
He comes in the summer time to bring Mamma ice.
Just a little teeny-weeny piece that soon melts away
He has to come back again later in the day.
