Lyrics Suppertime Start - Johnny Cash

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play ′til evening time would came
Still winding down that old familiar pathway
I hear my mother call at 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"
Oh, 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 through 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
