   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 
E 
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said 
A                           E              A 
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco 
A                        E                  A 
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done 
D                                  A                         
I was trying 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 won't you mister 
E                                   A 
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes 
D                                 A 
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him 
E                                    A 
And don't forget to give my love to Rose 
 
A                 E                  A 
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me 
A               E               A 
Tell my boy to help his mom at home 
D                            A 
Tell my Rose to try to find another 
E 
For it ain't right that she should live alone 
A                E               A 
Mister here's a bag with all my money 
A                   E              A 
It won't last them long the way it goes 
D                                   A 
God bless you for finding me this morning 
E                                    A 
And don't forget to give my love to Rose 
 
 
{Chorus:} 
D                                     A 
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister 
E                                   A 
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes 
D                                 A 
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him 
E                                    A 
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
