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 I keep from tellin' That that man of mine Ain't comin' home no more? How can I keep from tellin' When they ask me where he's gone? How can I keep from cryin' When I bring their supper on? How can I remind them to pray At their humble bowl? How can I be thankful When they start to thank the Lord? Oh, Lord 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 Ain't comin' home no more
