Cash Johnny Give My Love To Rose lyrics

by Johnny Cash
Recorded 7/1/57
Number 13 - Country Chart

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 Louisiana
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

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
