1
From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow
2
I could see Clifton in the canyon below
3
In Clifton lived Rosey, we danced and we dined
4
On the money I made in the open pit mine.
5
I loved my sweet Rosey and she loved me too
6
There was nothin' for Rosey that I wouldn't do
7
Her hugs and her kisses they were something devine
8
Gave me reason for working the open pit mine.
9
--- Instrumental ---
10
While I was out walkin' with my Rosey one day
11
We passed a store window with rings on display
12
I bought those she wanted, how they really did shine
13
With the money I scraped from that open pit mine.
14
Her love would bring heartbreak that I would soon learn
15
'Cause she would concern me when my back was turned?
16
Rosey would go dancin' and drink the red wine
17
While I worked like a slave in that open pit mine.
18
--- Instrumental ---
19
One night I caught Rosey on her rendevous
20
She was huggin' and kissin' with somebody new
21
It was there that I shot 'em while their arms were entwined
22
Then I buried her deep in that open pit mine.
23
I took a look at my future and what did I see
24
There was nothin' but trouble a-waiting for me
25
But on the sun's next rising I'll be satisfied
26
'Cause they'll find me there sleepin' by my sweet Rosey's side...
