作曲 : H. Miller/R. mcCoy

Before it was ripe

Way before it was time

To pick the grapes from the vine

Love that fell from our hearts

Made it sweet

So we borrowed my

Mother's wedding band

Found a shack and a piece of land

Oh, Lord, what else could

Make my life complete

A frail body torn with each baby born

The most fearsome screams, awful pain

Back to the field before she was healed

And never complained

I can't go through life alone

I gotta go see if can get

Mamma to come back home

Little Susie, now here's your chance

To show Daddy how big girl you can be

What I want you to so is take care

Of little Davey and the twins

If I don't come back tonight

And bounce em on my knee

Lord, how do you make

A little boy a man

When he's only three

Though it hurts me so

To leave you here alone

I gotta go see if I can't your

Momma to come back home

A house divided, broken in two

Can't stand the test

When the wind blows through

And I can't hold it together

So I headed for town

Where I thought she'd be

Praying the right words

Would come to me

When I got to the ridge

There was a crowd on the bridge

Where she fell to the water

Somebody said, we did all we could

But she couldn't be saved

And I could hear the words

That I told Susie

When I left her alone

I said, I gotta go see

If I can't your Momma

To come back home

Oh, Lord, see if I can't your

Momma to come back home

Do you hear me, baby

See if I can't your

Momma to come back home

I wonder if she understands

I know I can, but I'm just a man

Somebody's taken it out of my hands
