When I was just a boy in days of childhood
I used to play till evening shadows come
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun
The Chorus:
Come home come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home come home it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last
Verse Number Two:
One day beside her bedside I was kneeling
And angel wings were winnowing the air
She heard the call for Suppertime in heaven
And now I know she's waiting for me there
The Chorus:
Come home come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home come home it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last
Verse Number Three: [spoken]
In visions now I see her standing yonder
And her familiar voice I hear once more
The banquet table's ready up in Heaven
And it's suppertime upon the golden shore
The Chorus:
Come home come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home come home it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last
Tag:(spoken over the out)
Mom, it won't be long now
We'll be having suppertime together
