Supper Time - Artie Shaw & His Orchestra, Ирвинг Берлин

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
