Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1: Jimmy Ruffin] Before it was ripe Way before it was time To pick the grapes from the vine Love that poured from my heart made me see [Verse 2: David Ruffin] So, I borrowed my mother's wedding bang Found a shack and a piece of land Oh, Lord, what else could make my life complete? [Bridge: Jimmy Ruffin] Afraid of everybody told, each baby boy No tears or streams of awful pain Back to the fields before she was healed And never, never complained [Refrain] I can't go through life in misery alone I gotta go see if I can't get your momma' to come back home [Spoken Interlude] Little Susie, come here Now, here's a chance for you to show daddy what a big girl you can be Now here's what I want you to do I want you to take good care of little Davy, and the twins And if I don't get back tonight, and bounce 'em on my knee Oh, Lord, how do you make a little boy a man? When he's only three [Verse 3: David Ruffin] A house divided, broken in two Can't stand the test when the wind blows through Oh, Lord, I can't hold it together by myself [Verse 4: Both] So I headed for town, where I thought she'd be Prayed the right word would come to me Tryin' to make her see we needed her [Bridge] Now, I got to the ridge There was a crowd on the bridge Where she fell to a watery grave Somebody said, "We did all we could but she couldn't be saved" [Refrain] Ooh, I can remember the words I told Susie when I left her all alone: "Gotta go see if I can't get your momma' to come back home" [Outro] See if I can't get your momma' to come back home Gotta go see if I can't get your momma' to come back home (That's all that we need) Gotta see if I can't get your momma' to come back home (I gotta, gotta, gotta) Go see if I can't get your momma to come back home...
