[00:13.56]Before it was ripe
[00:15.12]Way before it was time
[00:17.28]To pick the grapes from the vine
[00:20.79]Love that fell from our hearts
[00:23.40]Made it sweet
[00:26.52]So we borrowed my
[00:28.02]Mother's wedding band
[00:30.24]Found a shack and a piece of land
[00:34.47]Oh, Lord, what else could
[00:35.73]Make my life complete
[00:39.51]A frail body torn with each baby born
[00:42.99]The most fearsome screams, awful pain
[00:46.68]Back to the field before she was healed
[00:49.62]And never complained
[00:52.62]I can't go through life alone
[00:58.65]I gotta go see if can get
[01:01.17]Mamma to come back home
[01:02.67]Little Susie, now here's your chance
[01:14.58]To show Daddy how big girl you can be
[01:19.53]What I want you to so is take care
[01:21.39]Of little Davey and the twins
[01:23.40]If I don't come back tonight
[01:24.78]And bounce em on my knee
[01:27.81]Lord, how do you make
[01:30.09]A little boy a man
[01:31.77]When he's only three
[01:35.31]Though it hurts me so
[01:42.24]To leave you here alone
[01:42.93]I gotta go see if I can't your
[01:43.77]Momma to come back home
[01:48.66]A house divided, broken in two
[01:51.39]Can't stand the test
[01:53.19]When the wind blows through
[01:55.65]And I can't hold it together
[02:01.20]So I headed for town
[02:03.78]Where I thought she'd be
[02:05.25]Praying the right words
[02:06.48]Would come to me
[02:14.40]When I got to the ridge
[02:15.96]There was a crowd on the bridge
[02:18.18]Where she fell to the water
[02:21.30]Somebody said, we did all we could
[02:24.18]But she couldn't be saved
[02:27.12]And I could hear the words
[02:28.65]That I told Susie
[02:30.18]When I left her alone
[02:32.28]I said, I gotta go see
[02:35.01]If I can't your Momma
[02:36.93]To come back home
[02:42.84]Oh, Lord, see if I can't your
[02:43.35]Momma to come back home
[02:46.05]Do you hear me, baby
[02:49.56]See if I can't your
[02:50.07]Momma to come back home
[02:52.89]I wonder if she understands
[02:57.87]I know I can, but I'm just a man
[03:02.55]Somebody's taken it out of my hands

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
