[Verse 1:]
Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time

Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man o'mine
Ain't comin' home no more

[Verse 2:]
Supper time
Kids will soon be yellin'
For their supper time

How'll I keep from tellin'
Them that man o'mine
Ain't comin' home no more?

[Verse 3:]
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!
[Verse 4:]
Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time

Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man o'mine
Ain't comin' home no more
