[00:19.74]When they carried you into the parlor
[00:23.70]Your wounds were the worst I'd seen
[00:27.90]Cold as snow your body trembled
[00:31.83]Cradled in the arms of M******e
[00:36.00]All the kinfolk cried out loud
[00:39.81]Good shepherd save this man
[00:43.56]But you whispered with icy breath
[00:47.49]It is not in his hands and you said
[00:54.00]Heaven ain't ready for me yet
[00:57.63]And you looked at me
[01:01.08]Give me your heart and take a bet
[01:05.43]And you held my hand
[01:08.49]Now I've seen your face now that we've met
[01:13.92]I shall not slip away
[01:24.36]Mama said to me daughter
[01:27.36]You must nurse your cousin well
[01:31.71]So I cared for you through days and nights
[01:35.67]But your fever I did not quell
[01:39.90]For weeks I watched you suffer pain
[01:43.59]That no laudanum could ease
[01:47.82]All I had left to do is pray
[01:51.36]Lord have mercy on him please and you said
[01:58.05]Heaven ain't ready for me yet
[02:01.68]And you looked at me
[02:05.13]Give me your heart and take a bet
[02:09.66]And you held my hand
[02:12.66]Now I've seen your face now that we've met
[02:18.06]I shall not slip away
[02:36.42]Now winter's lights has cooled the air
[02:40.20]At last your strength's returned
[02:44.70]You talk to me of the life you spent
[02:48.42]And of the life you've earned
[02:52.44]You'll waste no time on vengeance
[02:55.65]You've no wish to fight again
[02:59.91]To find peace you say In god we trust
[03:04.17]But little faith in man
[03:10.74]Heaven ain't ready for you yet Jesse
[03:17.61]I'll give you my heart and I'll take a bet Jesse
[03:25.32]Now I've seen your face now that we've met
[03:30.75]I shall not slip away
