Supper time I should set the table 'Cause it's supper time Somehow I'm not able 'Cause that man of mine Ain't coming home no more Oh, supper time Kids will soon be yelling For this supper time While I keep from telling That that man of mine Ain't coming home no more While I keep explaining When they ask me where he's gone While I keep from crying When I bring the supper on How can I remind them To pray at their humble board How can I be thankful When they start to thank the lord, Oh, lord! Supper time, I should set the table 'Cause it's supper time Somehow I'm not able 'Cause that man of mine Ain't coming home no more Ain't coming home no more
