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