Give My Love To Rose

Johnny Cash

   A            E   A
1. I found him by the railroad track this morning
   I could see that he was nearly dead
   D              A
   I knelt down beside him and I listened
   H              E
   Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
   
   He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco  
   For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
   I was trying to get back to Louisiana
   E                 A  
   To see my Rose and get to know my son

   D                 A
R: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
   E                 A                    
   Take her all my money,
   D                 A
   Tell her to buy some pretty clothes
   Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
   E                  A
   And don't forget to give my love to Rose

2. 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
   Cause 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

R: Give my love to Rose...
