Give My Love To Rose

I found him by the railroad track this morning I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened just to hear the words the dyin' fellow said
He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco for ten long years I paid for what I done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana to see my Rose and get to know my son
Give my love to Rose please won't you Mister
Take her all my money tell her buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him and don't forget to give my love to Rose
[ guitar - steel ]
Won't you tell them I said thanks for waitin' for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another cause it ain't right she should live alone
Mister here's the bag with all my money it won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning now don't forget to give my love to Rose
Give my love to Rose...
Please don't forget to give my love to Rose
