Suppertime
I should set the table
'Cause it's suppertime
Somehow I ain't able

'Cause that man of mine
Ain't comin' home no more

Suppertime
Kids will soon be yellin'
For their suppertime
How'll I keep from tellin

That that man of mine
Ain't comin' home no more

How'll I keep explainin'
When they ask me where he's gone
How can I keep cryin'
When I bring his 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, suppertime
I must set that table
'Cause it's suppertime
Somehow I'm not able

'Cause that man of mine
Ain't comin' home no more

He ain't comin' home no more
