GMany years Cago in days of childGhood
I D7used to play till evenin' shadows Gcome
Then windin' down that Cold familiar Gpathway

Come Chome, come home it's supperGtime
The D7shadows lengthen Gfast
Come Chome, come home it's supperGtime
We're D7going home at Glast
[Talking verses,play the same chords]

Were D7woven around supper Gtime
When my Cmother used to Gcall
From the D7backsteps of the old homepGlace
"Come on D7home now son, it's supper Gtime"
