Ella Fitzgerald

Song Lyrics

Supper time

I should set the table

`Cause it`s supper time

Somehow I`m not able

`Cause that man o`mine

Ain`t comin` home no more

Supper time

Kids will soon be yellin`

For their supper time

How`ll I keep from tellin`

Them that man o`mine

Ain`t comin` home no more?

How`ll I keep explainin` when they ask me where he`s gone?

How`ll I keep from cryin` 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 comin` home no more
