The Fabulous Johnny Cash

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evening time would come
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 so 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 back steps
Of the old home place


Come on home now son, it's suppertime
My how I'd love to hear that once again
But you know the time has woven for me the realization
Of a truth that's even more thrilling


That someday we'll be called to gather
Around the great supper table up there
For the greatest suppertime of them all, with our Lord
I can almost hear the call now comin' from the portals of Heaven
Come home son, it's suppertime


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