open pit mine by George Jones
FCrom MorenAmci, ArizoCna where the copper mines glow
CI could seeAm CliftonC in the canyon below
CIn Clifton Amlived RoCsey, we danced and we dined
COn the monGey I madCe in the open pit mine.
CI loved myAm sweetC Rosey and she loved me too
CThere wasAm nothin'C for Rosey that I wouldn't do
CHer hugs andAM her kissCes they were something devine
CGave me rGeasCon for working the open pit mine.
--- Instrumental ---
CWhile I wAmas outC walkin' with my Rosey one day
CWe passed a stAmore Cwindow with rings on display
CI bought Amthose she wCanted, how they really did shine
CWith the moneGy I scraCped from that open pit mine.
CHer love wouldAm bring heCartbreak that I would soon learn
C'Cause sheAm would coCncern me when my back was turned?
CRosey wouldAm go danCcin' and drink the red wine
CWhile I workedG like a sClave in that open pit mine.
--- Instrumental ---
COne night IAm caughCt Rosey on her rendevous
CShe was huggin' Amand kisCsin' with somebody new
CIt was there Amthat I shotC 'em while their arms were entwined
CThen I buGrieCd her deep in that open pit mine.
CI took a Amlook atC my future and what did I see
CThere was nothAmin' but Ctrouble a-waiting for me
CBut on the Amsun's nCext rising I'll be satisfied
