Give My Love To Rose

(альбом: Singing My Songs (Johnny Cash) - 1970)

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 out in Frisco
For ten long years I paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana just to see my Rose and get to know my son
Give my love to Rose please won't you 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

Won't you tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try and find another cause it ain't right that she should live alone
Now Mister here's the bag with all my money it won't last them long the way 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...
