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 Supper time kids will soon be yelling For their supper time How'll I keep from telling that, that man of mine Ain't coming home no more How'll I keep explaining when they ask me where he's gone How'll I keep from crying when I bring their 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, Lord It's 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
