Supper Time (3/17/58)

Supper Time (3/17/58) - Ella Fitzgerald

Supper time

I should set the table

Cause its supper time

Somehow I'm not able

Cause that man omine

Ain't comin home no more

Supper time

Kids will soon be yellin

For their supper time

Howll I keep from tellin

Them that man omine

Ain't comin home no more

Howll I keep explainin when they ask me where hes gone

Howll 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 its supper time

Somehow I'm not able

Cause that man omine

Ain't comin home no more

Ain't comin home no more
