[Primeira Parte]

   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 down 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

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 his daddy's so proud of him
    E                               A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

[Segunda Parte]

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

Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
