Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play 'til evenin' shadows come Then windin' 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 going home at last In visions now I see her standin' yonder Her familiar voice, I hear once more She said the banquet table's ready up in Heaven 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 going home at last Child, you're going home at last
