Suppertime

Many years ago in days of childhood

I used to play 'til evenin' shadows come

Then windin' down an old familiar pathway

I heard my mother call at set of sun

Come home, come home, it's suppertime

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home, come home, it's suppertime

We're going home at last

In visions now I see her standin' yonder

Her familiar voice, I hear once more

She said the banquet table's ready up in Heaven

It's suppertime upon the golden shore

Come home, come home, it's suppertime

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home, come home, it's suppertime

We're going home at last

Child, you're going home at last
