VERSE:
A           D             A
Many years ago in days of childhood
  E                                    A
I used to play till evening time would come
A                       D           A
Still winding down that old familar pathway 
  E                              A
I hear my mother call at setting sun

CHORUS:
A    D                           A
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
A   E                A
The shadows lengthen fast
A    D                           A
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
A     E             A
We're going home at last

SPOKEN:(same chord progression as verse)
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood are woven around suppertime
When mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homplace
Come on home now son it's supertime, 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 suppertable 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

CHORUS:
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last
