George Jones - Open pit mine

^GFrom Morenci, Arizona where the ^Ccopper mines ^Gglow ^GI could see Clifton in the canyon be^Glow ^GIn Clifton lived Rosey, we ^Cdanced and we ^Gdined ^GOn the money I made in the ^Dopen pit ^Gmine.

^GI loved my sweet Rosey and ^Cshe loved me ^Gtoo ^GThere was nothing for Rosey that I wouldn't ^Gdo ^GHer hugs and her kisses, they were ^Csomething di^Gvine ^GGave me reason for working the ^Dopen pit ^Gmine.

^GWhile I was out walkin' with my ^CRosey one ^Gday ^GWe passed a store window with rings on dis^Gplay ^GI bought those she wanted, how they ^Creally did ^Gshine ^GSpent the money I saved from that ^Dopen pit ^Gmine.

^GHer love would bring heartbreak, that ^CI would soon ^Glearn ^G'Cause she would two-time me when my back was ^Gturned ^GRosey would go dancin' and ^Cdrink the red ^Gwine ^GWhile I worked like a slave in that ^Dopen pit ^Gmine.

^GOne night I caught Rosey on ^Cher rende^Gvous ^GShe was huggin' and kissin' with somebody ^Gnew ^GIt was there that I shot 'em while their ^Carms were en^Gtwined ^GThen I buried her deep in that ^Dopen pit ^Gmine.

^GI took a look at my future and ^Cwhat did I ^Gsee ^GThere was nothing but trouble a-waiting for ^Gme ^GBut on the sun's next rising I'll ^Cbe satis^Gfied ^GCause they'll find me there sleeping by my ^Dsweet Rosie's ^Gside.
