Give My Love to Rose
Redemption's Plea: A Dying Man's Last Words for Love
Lyrics
I found him by the railroad track this morning
Discovering a person near the railroad track in critical condition.
I could see that he was nearly dead
Observing that the person is close to death.
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Kneeling beside the dying person to listen to their final words.
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
Curious about the last words spoken by the dying individual.
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
Explanation of being released from prison in Frisco after a ten-year sentence.
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
Expressing the completion of a decade-long punishment for past actions.
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
Desire to return to Louisiana and reunite with Rose and meet his son.
To see my Rose and get to know my son
Expressing love for Rose and pride in the son.
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Requesting to convey love to Rose and deliver money for her.
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Instructing to use the money for purchasing attractive clothing.
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
Conveying pride to the son and emphasizing the love for him.
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Reminding not to overlook conveying love to Rose.
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Expressing gratitude for those who waited during the absence.
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Instructing the son to assist his mother in household responsibilities.
Tell my Rose to try to find another
Suggesting Rose find another person because it's not right for her to live alone.
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Handing over money in a bag, acknowledging its limited duration.
Mister here's a bag with all my money
Expressing gratitude for finding him and providing assistance.
It won't last them long the way it goes
Reiterating the instruction to convey love to Rose and providing financial support.
God bless you for finding me this morning
Expressing blessings for the person who discovered him.
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Reiterating the importance of conveying love to Rose.
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Requesting again to convey love to Rose and provide financial assistance.
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Reiterating the instruction to use money for purchasing clothing.
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
Reiterating pride in the son and emphasizing conveying love to Rose.
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Final reminder not to forget conveying love to Rose.
