Testo Supper Time - Bobbie Gentry

Supper Time

Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it’s supper time
Somehow I’m not able
'Cause that man of mine
Ain’t comin' home no more
Supper time
Kids will soon be yellin'
For their supper time
How I keep from tellin'
That that man of mine
Ain’t comin' home no more?
How can I keep from tellin'
When they ask me where he’s gone?
How can I keep from cryin'
When I bring their supper on?
How can I remind them to pray
At their humble bowl?
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 comin' home no more
Ain’t comin' home no more
