[00:07.59]I found him by the railroad track this morning
[00:13.67]I could see that he was nearly dead
[00:18.94]I knelt down beside him and I listened
[00:24.73]Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
[00:30.87]He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco
[00:36.76]For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
[00:42.37]I was trying to get back to Louisiana
[00:48.26]To see my Rose and get to know my son
[00:54.98][02:12.10]Give my love to Rose please won't you mister?
[01:00.42][02:18.04]Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
[01:06.82][02:23.99]Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
[01:12.40][02:29.67]And don't forget to give my love to Rose
[01:24.39]Won't you tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
[01:30.48]Tell my boy to help his mom at home
[01:35.70]Tell my Rose to try to find another
[01:41.68]'Cause it ain't right that she should live alone
[01:48.23]Mister here's a bag with all my money
[01:54.38]It won't last them long the way it goes
[01:59.40]God bless you for finding me this morning
[02:05.83]Now don't forget to give my love to Rose

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'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
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 to find another
