Verse Number One:
When I was just a boy in days of childhood .
I used to play till evening shadows come .
Then winding down an 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 goin' home at last ..

And angel wings were winnowing .the air .
She heard the call for Suppertime in heaven
And now I know she's waiting for me there .

Come home come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast ..
Come home come home it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last ..

And her familiar voice I hear once more .
The banquet table's ready up in Heaven .
And it's suppertime upon the golden shore .

Come home come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast ..
Come home come home it's suppertime
We're goin' home at last ..
