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
   Oh, supper time
   Kids will soon be yelling
   For this supper time
   While I keep from telling
   That that man of mine
   Ain't coming home no more
   While I keep explaining
   When they ask me where he's gone
   While 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!
   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
   Ain't coming home no more...
