Merle Haggard - Suppertime lyrics

[Verse 1] Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play till the evening sun would come Then winding down that old familiar pathway I heard my mother call at set of sun [Chorus] Come home, come home it's supper-time The shadows lengthen fast Come home, come home it's supper-time We're going home at last [Verse 2] Some of my fondest memories of my childhood Are woven around supper-time When my mother used to call From the back steps of the old home place She said come home son it's supper-time [Bridge] Oh, what I'd have to hear that one more time But you know time has woven a realization of truth That is even more thrilling And that's when we get that call from the greatest glory To come home on supper-time When all of God's children gather around the table With the love of himself And we'll celebrate the greatest supper-time of all [Chorus]
