1. I found him by the railroad track this mornin',
     /             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 dyin' fellow said.
             A                    E               A
    He said, "They let me out of prison out in 'Frisco,
                  E                        A
    for ten long years I paid for what I'd done.
               D                      A
    I was tryin' to get back to Louisiana
          E          E7              A       - A7
    to see my Rose and get to know my son. 
 
  D                                         A
Give my love to rose, please, won't you, Mister?
  E             E7             A                    A7
Take her all my money, tell her : buy some pretty clothes.
  D                                A
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him,
     E          E7                     A
and don't forget to give my love to Rose.
 
           A                  E                 A
2. Won'tcha tell them I said thanks for waiting for me,
      /      E                        A
    tell my boy to help his mom at home.
       D                            A
     Tell my Rose to try to find another,
              B7                               E
    'cause it ain't right that she should live alone.
      A              E                     A
    Mister, here's the bag with all my money,
                  E                   A
    it won't last them long, the way it goes.
       D                               A
    God bless you for findin' me this mornin'.
       E                  E7            A
    Now don't forget to give my love to Rose.   + CHORUS
