Irving Berlin
Supper Time
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, 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?

[Bridge]
How'll I keep explaining
When they ask me where he's gone?
How'll 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?
Oh, Lord
[Verse 1]
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

[Outro]
Ain't coming home no more
