Artist: George Jones Song: Open Pit Mine
G                               C            G
From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow

G                                   G
I could see Clifton in the canyon below

G                          C             G
In Clifton lived Rosey, we danced and we dined

G                          D        G
On the money I made in the open pit mine.

G                          C            G
I loved my sweet Rosey and she loved me too

G                                           G
There was nothing for Rosey that I wouldn't do

G                                  C           G
Her hugs and her kisses, they were something divine

G                              D        G
Gave me reason for working the open pit mine.

G                               C         G
While I was out walkin' with my Rosey one day

G                                         G
We passed a store window with rings on display

G                                   C          G
I bought those she wanted, how they really did shine

G                                 D        G
Spent the money I saved from that open pit mine.

G                                     C            G
Her love would bring heartbreak, that I would soon learn

G                                             G
'Cause she would two-time me when my back was turned

G                          C             G
Rosey would go dancin' and drink the red wine

G                                   D        G
While I worked like a slave in that open pit mine.

G                           C        G
One night I caught Rosey on her rendevous

G                                         G
She was huggin' and kissin' with somebody new

G                                        C           G
It was there that I shot 'em while their arms were entwined

G                              D        G
Then I buried her deep in that open pit mine.

G                              C          G
I took a look at my future and what did I see

G                                           G
There was nothing but trouble a-waiting for me

G                                 C       G
But on the sun's next rising I'll be satisfied

G                                          D             G
Cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosie's side.
