I found him by the railroad track this morning
D7G
I could see that he was nearly dead
CG
I knelt down beside him and I listened
A7D7
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
GD7G
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
D7G
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
CG
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
D7G
To see my Rose and get to know my son
CG
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
D7G
Take her all my money tell her to buy some pretty clothes
CG
Tell my boy daddy's so proud of him
D7G
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
D7G
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
D7G
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
