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
