Got To See If I Can't Get Mommy (to Come Back Home) Lyrics - The Iceman Cometh/ice On Ice - Jerry Butler

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 

Trying to make her see 

that we needed her 

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
