                    GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE
                       by Johnny Cash
         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 Louisana
         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

                      Repeat chorus
