[Verse 1]
   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

        B7                              E
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

             A             E             A
He said they let me out of prison out 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 that daddy's so proud of him

    E                               A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
[Verse 2]
          A                E                  A
Won't you tell 'em 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

       B7                                   E
'Cause 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
Now 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 that daddy's so proud of him

    E                               A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
