From Moretsy,
Arizona,
where the copper mines glow,
I could see Clifton and the canyon below.
In Clifton lived Rosie.
We danced and we dined on the money.
I made in the open pit mine.
I loved my sweet Rosie,
and she loved me too.
There was nothing for Rosie that I wouldn't do.
Her hugs and her kisses,
they were something divine.
Gave me reason for working the open pit mine.
While I was out walking
with my Rosie one day,
We passed a store window with rings on
display.
I bought all she wanted, how they really
did shine.
Spent the money I saved
from that open pit mine.
Her love would bring heartbreak
that I would soon learn,
cause
she would two-time me when my back was tired.
Rosie would go dancing and drink the red wine,
while I worked
like a slave in that open pit mine.
One night I caught Rosie on her rendezvous.
She was hugging and kissing with somebody new.
It was there that I shot her while their arms were entwined,
and I buried her deep in that open pit mine.
I took a look at my future,
and what did I see?
There was nothing but trouble awaiting for me.
But on the suns next to Rosie,
I'll be satisfied,
cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosie's side.
