The Flatlanders - Give My Love to Rose lyrics

[Verse 1] I found him by a railroad track this mornin' I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dyin' fella said Said, "They let me out of prison out in Frisco For ten long years, I've paid for what I've done I was tryin' to get back to Louisiana To see my Rose and get to know my son" [Chorus] "Give my love to Rose, please, won't you, mister? Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that Daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose" [Verse 2] "Tеll them I said thanks for waitin' for me Tell my boy to hеlp his mom at home Tell my Rose to try and 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 'em long the way it goes God bless you for findin' me this mornin' Now don't forget to give my love to Rose" [Chorus] "Give my love to Rose, please, won't you, mister? Take her all my money and tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that Daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose"
