Thread Name: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED UP YONDER
Came across this thread, and didn't find the lyrics that Carly (?) sang at the 2004 Getaway. Here they are:

WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED UP YONDER

We have labored in the kitchen from the dawn to setting sun
Making food and drink for everyone to share.
When the dinner bell of heaven sounds and work on earth is done
Oh the ladies of the church will all be there.

CHORUS:

When the rolls are served up yonder (3X)
Oh, the ladies of the church will all be there.

We put on a fancy banquet when the bishop comes to call;
The aroma of our chicken fills the air.
But when dinner time is over still our work is not yet done:
There are dishes, pots and pans that need our care.

We make tons of mashed potatoes, we make gallons of sweet tea
And our apple dumplings are beyond compare.
We make casseroles and compotes, we make cookies, cakes and pies;
The ladies of the church are always there.

On that bright and cloudless morning in a banquet hall on high
When that heavenly host says, "Girls, pull up a chair",
There will be no dirty dishes and no supper to prepare
And the ladies of the church will all be there.
