When they carried you into the parlor [00:00:19]
Your wounds were the worst I'd seen [00:00:23]
Cold as snow your body trembled [00:00:27]
Cradled in the arms of M******e [00:00:31]
All the kinfolk cried out loud [00:00:35]
Good shepherd save this man [00:00:39]
But you whispered with icy breath [00:00:43]
It is not in his hands and you said [00:00:47]
Heaven ain't ready for me yet [00:00:53]
And you looked at me [00:00:57]
Give me your heart and take a bet [00:01:00]
And you held my hand [00:01:04]
Now I've seen your face now that we've met [00:01:08]
I shall not slip away [00:01:13]
Mama said to me daughter [00:01:23]
You must nurse your cousin well [00:01:26]
So I cared for you through days and nights [00:01:30]
But your fever I did not quell [00:01:34]
For weeks I watched you suffer pain [00:01:39]
That no laudanum could ease [00:01:42]
All I had left to do is pray [00:01:46]
Lord have mercy on him please and you said [00:01:50]
Heaven ain't ready for me yet [00:01:56]
And you looked at me [00:02:00]
Give me your heart and take a bet [00:02:03]
And you held my hand [00:02:08]
Now I've seen your face now that we've met [00:02:11]
I shall not slip away [00:02:16]
Now winter's lights has cooled the air [00:02:35]
At last your strength's returned [00:02:38]
You talk to me of the life you spent [00:02:43]
And of the life you've earned [00:02:46]
You'll waste no time on vengeance [00:02:50]
You've no wish to fight again [00:02:53]
To find peace you say In god we trust [00:02:58]
But little faith in man [00:03:02]
Heaven ain't ready for you yet Jesse [00:03:09]
I'll give you my heart and I'll take a bet Jesse [00:03:15]
Now I've seen your face now that we've met [00:03:23]
I shall not slip away [00:03:28]
