B

When they carried you into the parlor

E B

Your wounds were the worst I'd seen

G#m

Cold as snow your body trembled

F#

Craddled in the arms of morphine

B

All the kinfolk cried out loud

E B

Good shepherd save this man

G#m

But you whispered with icy breath

F#

It is not in his hands and you said

E B

Heaven ain't ready for me yet and you looked at me

E B

Give me your heart and take a bet and you held my hand

E F#

Now I've seen your face now that we've met

B E

I shall not slip away

B

Mama said to me, daughter

E B

You must nurse your cousin well

G#m

So I cared for you thru days and night

F#

But your fever I did not quell

B

For weeks I watched you suffer pain

E B

That no laudanum could ease

G#m

All I had left to do is pray

F#

Lord have mercy on him please - and you said

E B

Heaven ain't ready for me yet and you looked at me

E B

Give me your heart and take a bet and you held my hand

E F#

Now I've seen your face now that we've met

B E

I shall not slip away

B

Now winters lights has cooled the air

E B

At last your strength's returned

G#m

You talk to me of the life you spent

F#

And of the life you've earned

B

You'll waste no time on vengenance

E B

You've no wish to fight again

G#m

To find peace you say In God we trust

F#

Put little faith in man

E B

No, Heaven aint ready for you yet, Jesse

E B

I'll give you my heart I'll take a bet Jesse

E F#

Now Ive seen your face now that we've met

B E B

We shall not slip away
