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 Frisco
+
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
+
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
+
To see my Rose and get to know my son
+
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
+
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
+
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
+
And 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 ain't right that she should live alone
+
Mister here's a bag with all my money
+
It won't last them long the way it goes
+
God bless you for finding me this morning
+
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
+
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
+
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
+
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
+
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
+
