|
From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow |
|
I could see Clifton in the canyon below |
|
In Clifton lived Rosey, we danced and we dined |
|
On the money I made in the open pit mine |
|
I loved my sweet Rosey and she loved me too |
|
There was nothin' for Rosey that I wouldn't do |
|
Her hugs and her kisses they were something divine |
|
Gave me reason for working the open pit mine |
|
While I was out walking with my Rosey one day |
|
We passed a store window with rings on display |
|
I bought those she wanted |
|
How they really did shine |
|
Spent the money I saved from that open pit mine |
|
Her love would bring heartbreak that I would soon learn |
|
'Cause she would two-time me when my back was turned |
|
Rosey would go dancing and drink the red wine |
|
While I worked like a slave in that open pit mine |
|
One night I caught Rosey on her rendezvous |
|
She was hugging and kissing with somebody new |
|
It was there that I shot her while their arms were entwined |
|
Then I buried her deep in that open pit mine |
|
I took a look at my future and what did I see? |
|
There was nothin' but trouble a-waiting for me |
|
But on the sun's next rising I'll be satisfied |
|
'Cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosey's side |
