Heaven Ain't Ready For You Yet - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)[00:00:00]

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 morphine[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[00:01:05]

"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[00:01:38]

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"[00:01:57]

And you looked at me[00:02:00]

"Give me your heart and take a bet"[00:02:02]

And you held my hand[00:02:07]

"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[00:02:42]

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]
