Johnny Cash - Give My Love To Rose (With June Carter Cash) Lyrics

I found him by the 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
He said they let me outa prison, out in Frisco
For ten long years I paid for what I done
I was tryin' to get back to Louisiana
To see my rose, and get to know my son

Give my love to rose, please wont ya mister?
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

Wont ya tell um, I said thanks for waitin' for me
Tell my boy to help his ma at home
Tell my rose to try to find another
'Cause it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's the bag with all my money
It won't last them long, though it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
Now don't forget to give my love to rose

Give my love to rose, please wont ya mister?
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
