Supper Time Songtext
von Carmen McRae

Supper time
I should set the table, ′cause it's supper time
Somehow, I′m not able
'Cause that man of mine ain't comin′ home no more


Supper time
Kids will soon be yellin′ for their supper time
How'll I keep from tellin′ them
That man of mine ain't comin′ home no more?

How'll I keep explainin′ when they ask me where he's gone?
How'll I keep from cryin′ 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

Supper time
Got to set the table, ′cause it's supper time
Somehow, I′m not able
'Cause that man of mine ain′t comin' home no more
