Lyrics Suppertime - Mono Version - Johnny Cash

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play 'til evening time would come
Still winding down that old familiar pathway
I hear my mother call that setting sun
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood are woven around suppertime
When mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homeplace
"Come on home now son, it's suppertime"
My how I'd love to hear that once again
But you know time has woven for me a realization
Of a truth that's even more thrilling
That someday, we'll be called together around the great supper table
Up there for the greatest suppertime of them all with our Lord
I can almost hear the call now coming from the portals of heaven
"Come home son, it's suppertime
Come on home"
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen so fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last
