<b>Give My Love To Rose</b> by <i>On Guard</i><br />

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' fellow said

He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco

For 10 long years I've paid for what I've 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 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 'em? Thanks for waitin' for me

Tell my boy to help his mom at home

Tell my Rose to try to and find another

For it ain't right that she should live alone

Mister here's the bag with all my money

It won't last them long the way it goes

God bless you for findin' me this mornin'

Don't forget to give my love to Rose

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
