Mmh hmmh
I
found him by the railroad
track this mornin',
I could tell 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 in Frisco
For ten long years I paid for what I'd done
Now I'm trying to get back to Louisiana
Just to see my rose and get to know my son Mister,
here's the bag with all my money
It won't last her 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?
Give her all my money,
tell her buy some new clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
