A E A
I found him by the railroad track this morning
A E A
I could see that he was nearly dead
D A
I knelt down beside him and I listened
E
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
A E A
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
A E A
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
D A
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
E A
To see my Rose and get to know my son
{Chorus:}
D A
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
E A
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
D A
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
E A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
A E A
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
A E A
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
D A
Tell my Rose to try to find another
E
For it ain't right that she should live alone
A E A
Mister here's a bag with all my money
A E A
It won't last them long the way it goes
D A
God bless you for finding me this morning
E A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
{Chorus:}
D A
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
E A
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
D A
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
E A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
