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...
