From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow
I could see Clifton in the canyon below
In Clifton lived Rosey, we danced and we dined
On the money I made in the open pit mine
I loved my sweet Rosey and she loved me too
There was nothin' for Rosey that I wouldn't do
Her hugs and her kisses they were something divine
Gave me reason for working the open pit mine
While I was out walking with my Rosey one day
We passed a store window with rings on display
I bought those she wanted
How they really did shine
Spent the money I saved from that open pit mine
Her love would bring heartbreak that I would soon learn
'Cause she would two-time me when my back was turned
Rosey would go dancing and drink the red wine
While I worked like a slave in that open pit mine
One night I caught Rosey on her rendezvous
She was hugging and kissing with somebody new
It was there that I shot her while their arms were entwined
Then I buried her deep in that open pit mine
I took a look at my future and what did I see?
There was nothin' but trouble a-waiting for me
But on the sun's next rising I'll be satisfied
'Cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosey's side
