Give My Love To Rose
I found him by the railroad track this morning
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
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
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 his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
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
For 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
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 his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Dar mi amor a Rose
Lo encontré en la vía del ferrocarril esta mañana
Pude ver que estaba casi muerto
Me arrodillé a su lado y escuché
Sólo para escuchar las palabras que dijo el moribundo
Dijo que me dejaron salir de prisión en Frisco
Durante diez largos años he pagado por lo que he hecho
Estaba tratando de volver a Louisiana
Para ver a mi Rose y conocer a mi hijo
Coro
Dale mi amor a Rose, por favor, señor
Llévala todo mi dinero, dile que compre ropa bonita
Dile a mi chico que su papá está tan orgulloso de él
Y no olvides darle mi amor a Rose
Diles que dije gracias por esperarme
Dile a mi hijo que ayude a su madre en casa
Dile a mi Rose que intente encontrar otro
Porque no está bien que ella viva sola
Señor, aquí hay una bolsa con todo mi dinero
No les durará mucho de la forma en que va
Dios te bendiga por encontrarme esta mañana
Y no olvides darle mi amor a Rose
Coro
Dale mi amor a Rose, por favor, señor
Llévala todo mi dinero, dile que compre ropa bonita
Dile a mi chico que su papá está tan orgulloso de él
Y no olvides darle mi amor a Rose
