BEBE
When they Bcarried you into the parlor
Your Ewounds were the worst I'd Bseen
Cold as snow your body G#mtrembled
FCraddled in the arms of morphine
BAll the kinfolk cried out loud
Good sEhepherd save this Bman
But you whispered with G#micy breath
It is Fnot in his hands and you said
EHeaven ain't ready for me Byet and you looked at me
EGive me your heart and take a bBet and you held my hand
ENow I've seen your face now that we've Fmet
I shall not slip BawayE
BMama said to me, daughter
You must Enurse your cousin Bwell
So I cared for you thru G#mdays and night
But your Ffever I did not quell
BFor weeks I watched you suffer pain
That no Elaudanum could Bease
All I had left to G#mdo is pray
Lord have Fmercy on him please - and you said
EHeaven ain't ready for me Byet and you looked at me
EGive me your heart and take a Bbet and you held my hand
ENow I've seen your face now that we'veF met
I shall not slip BawayE
BNow winters lights has cooled the air
At Elast your strength's retBurned
You talk to me of the G#mlife you spent
FAnd of the life you've earned
BYou'll waste no time on vengenance
You've no Ewish to fight Bagain
To find peace you say G#mIn God we trust
Put Flittle faith in man
ENo, Heaven aint ready for you Byet, Jesse
EI'll give you my heart I'll take aB bet Jesse
ENow Ive seen your face now that we've Fmet
We shall not slip Baway E B
