give my love to rose
I found him by the railroad tracks this morning I could see 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 back in Frisco" For 10 long years I've paid for what I'd done I was trying to get back to Louisiana Just to see my Rose and get to know my son  Won't you tell them I said thanks, for waiting for me And tell my boy to help his mama at home Tell my Rose to try to find another For it ain't right that she should live alone  Mr., here's the bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for finding me this morning Now don't forget to give my love to Rose  Give my love to Rose, won't you Mr. Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose
