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