Suppertime lyrics
by Irving Berlin
[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?
[Bridge]
How'll I keep explainin'
When they ask me where, 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 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
Ain't comin' home no more
