Many years ago in days of childhood

I used to play till evening shadows come

Then winding down that old familiar pathway

I heard my mother call at setting sun

Come home come home it's supper time

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home come home it's supper time

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 supper time upon the golden shore

Come home come home it's supper time

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home come home it's supper time

We're going home at last

Child you're going home at last
