Give My Love To Rose (Live)

I found him by the railroad track 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 out in FriscoFor ten long years, I've paid for what I've doneI was trying to get back to LouisianaTo see my Rose and get to know my sonGive my love to Rose please, won't you mister?Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothesTell my boy that daddy's so proud of himAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose"

Won't you tell them,

I said thanks for waiting for me

Tell my boy to help his mom at home

Tell my Rose to try to find another

For it's ain't right that she should live alone"Mister, here's a bag with all my moneyIt won't last them long the way it goesGod bless you for finding me this morningNow don't forget to give my love to RoseGive my love to Rose please, won't you Mister?Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothesTell my boy that daddy's so proud of himAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose"
