A--0-2-3-4-44-3-2-0|
  A                E                   A
I found him by the railroad track this morning
A                E             A
I could see that he was nearly dead
D                             A
I knelt down beside him and I listened
        B7                              E
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

             A             E             A
He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco
    A                  E                A
For ten long years Ive paid for what Id done
      D                    E
I was tryin to get back to Louisiana
   E                              A
To see my Rose and get to know my son

CHORUS:
D                                    A
Give my love to Rose please wont you mister
E                              A
Take her all my money tell her buy some pretty clothes
D                                   A
Tell my boy that Daddys so proud of him
    E                              A
And dont forget to give my love to Rose

INTRO

Wont you tell em I said thanks for waitin for me
Tell my boy to help his Mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
Cause it aint right that she should live alone

Mister heres the bag with with all my money
It wont last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
Now dont forget to Give my love to Rose

CHORUS

And dont forget to give my love to

A--4-3-2-(A chord)
          Rose.
