Give My Love To Rose

G                  D7                  G
I found him by the railroad track this morning
                    D7         G
I could see that he was nearly dead
C                             G
I knelt down beside him and I listened
        A7                              D7
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

G                          D7             G
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
                        D7                 G
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
C                                 G
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
   D7                             G
To see my Rose and get to know my son

C                                     G
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
D7                                G
Take her all my money tell her to buy some pretty clothes
C                               G
Tell my boy daddy's so proud of him
    D7                              G
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

                 D7                     G
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
               D7              G
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
C                           G
Tell my Rose to try to find another
         A7                               D7
Cause it ain't right that she should live alone

G               D7              G
Mister here's a bag with all my money
                   D7              G
It won't last them long the way it goes
C                                 G
God bless you for finding me this morning
    D7                              G
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

C                                     G
