CHAPTER 1

Scrub, Scrub, Scrub, Scrub I remember like it was yesterday My steps sound like my Big Mama's Although she has passed away

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember sitting on the porch with her On hot, sticky summer nights Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember saying good night to her After she turned off all of the lights

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember how she taught me to work by her side She was seventy with silver braids under her hat Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember how she helped me Even when she was tired I'm very thankful for that

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember how she made warm outing gowns For all of my sisters and me Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember her hot, golden butter rolls And her sweet, brown molasses candy

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember her elderberry bush And aprons rocking on the clothes line Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub I remember the loud tick of her clock The alarm woke me up on time
