G# D# G#
I found him by the railroad track this morning
G# D# G#
I could see that he was nearly dead
C# G#
I knelt down beside him and I listened
D#
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
G# D# G#
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
G# D# G#
For ten long years Iʼve paid for what Iʼve done
C# G#
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
D# G#
To see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus:
C# G#
Give my love to Rose please wonʼt you mister
D# G#
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
C# G#
Tell my boy his daddyʼs so proud of him
D# G#
And donʼt forget to give my love to Rose
G# D# G#
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
G# D# G#
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
C# G#
Tell my Rose to try to find another
D#
For it ainʼt right that she should live alone
G# D# G#
Mister hereʼs a bag with all my money
G# D# G#
It wonʼt last them long the way it goes
C# G#
God bless you for finding me this morning
D# G#
And donʼt forget to give my love to Rose
Chorus:
C# G#
Give my love to Rose please wonʼt you mister
D# G#
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
C# G#
Tell my boy his daddyʼs so proud of him
D# G#
And donʼt forget to give my love to Rose
