Merle Haggard - Suppertime Lyrics

Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play till the evening sun would come

Then winding down that old familiar pathway I heard my mother call at set of 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 my fondest memories of my childhood are woven around suppertime

When my mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homeplace

She said come home son it's suppertime oh what I'd have to hear that one more time

But you know time has woven a realization of truth that is even more thrilling

And that's when we get that call from the greatest glory to come home on suppertime

When all of God's children gather around the table with the love of himself

And we'll celebrate the greatest suppertime of all

Come home come home...
