Suppertime

Suppertime

(album: The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books - 1994)

Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time
Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man o'mine
Ain't coming home no more

Supper time
Kids will soon be yelling
For their supper time
How'll I keep from telling
Them that man o'mine
Ain't coming home no more?

How'll I keep explaining when they ask me where he's gone?
How'll I keep from crying 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!

Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time
Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man o'mine
Ain't coming home no more
