lirik lagu george jones - open pit mine
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 devine
gave me reason for working the open pit mine.
— instrumental —
while i was out walkin’ with my rosey one day
we p-ssed a store window with rings on display
i bought those she wanted, how they really did shine
with the money i scr-ped from that open pit mine.
her love would bring heartbreak that i would soon learn
’cause she would concern me when my back was turned?
rosey would go dancin’ and drink the red wine
while i worked like a slave in that open pit mine.
— instrumental —
one night i caught rosey on her rendevous
she was huggin’ and kissin’ with somebody new
it was there that i shot ’em 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 sleepin’ by my sweet rosey’s side…
