Supper Time Songtext
von Artie Shaw

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 will I keep from telling
That man of mine
Ain′t coming home no more


How will I keep explaining
When they ask me where he′s gone
How will 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
Lord, oh

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

Mmmm, ain′t coming home no more
