Give My Love to Rose

[Into]
Dig it

[Verse 1]
I found him by the railroad tracks this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
So I knelt down beside him, and I listened
Just to hear what this dying fellow said

[Verse 2]
He said, "They let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years, I've paid for what I'd done
And I was just tryin' to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose, and get to know my son

[Chorus]
Oh, give my love to Rose, please, won't you mister?
Give her all my money, and tell her to buy some pretty clothes
And please tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
Don't forget to give my love to Rose

[Verse 3]
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his ma at home
Tell my Rose to try and find another
For it ain't right, her being here all alone

[Verse 4]
Mister, here's a bag with all my money
It won't last 'em long the way things go
God bless you finding me here this morning
Please don't forget to give my love to Rose

[Chorus]
Give my love to Rose, please, won't you, mister?
Give her all my money, and tell her to buy some pretty clothes, and
Just tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
But most of all, please give my love to Rose"
