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 dying fellow said
|
|
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
|
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
|
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
|
To see my Rose and get to know my son
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
|
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
|
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
|
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
|
|
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
|
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
|
Tell my Rose to try to find another
|
For it ain't right that she should live alone
|
|
Mister here's a bag with all my money
|
It won't last them long the way it goes
|
God bless you for finding me this morning
|
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
|
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
|
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
|
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
|
