Give My Love to Rose
I found him by the railroad track this morningI could see that he was nearly deadI knelt down beside him and I listenedJust to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in FriscoFor ten long years I've paid for what I've doneI was trying to get back to LouisianaTo see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus:Give my love to Rose please won't you misterTake her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothesTell my boy his daddy's so proud of himAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for meTell my boy to help his mom at homeTell my Rose to try to find anotherFor it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my moneyIt won't last them long the way it goesGod bless you for finding me this morningAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose
Chorus:Give my love to Rose please won't you misterTake her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothesTell my boy his daddy's so proud of himAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose
