I found him by the railroad track this morning
He said, they let me out of prison out in Frisco
Give my love to Rose, please won't you, mister
Tell 'em I said thanks for waiting for me
Mister, here's the bag with all my money
Give my love to Rose, please won't you, mister
Return to Johnny Cash lyrics.
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
for ten long years I paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
to see my Rose and get to know my son
take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
and don't forget to give my love to Rose
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
it won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
now don't forget to give my love to Rose
take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
and don't forget to give my love to Rose
