Give My Love to Rose

Found him by the railroad track this morning
I could tell 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 in Frisco
For ten long years I paid for what I'd done
Now I'm tryin' to get back to Louisiana
Just to see my Rose and get to know my son

Mister heres the bag with all my money
It wont last her long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this mornin'
And don't forget to give my love to Rose"

"Give my love to rose please won't you mister
Give her all of my money
Tell her, 'buy some new clothes'
Tell my boy his daddy is so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose"

"Give my love to rose please wont you mister
Give her all of my money
Tell her, 'buy some new clothes'
Tell my boy his daddy is so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose"
