George Jones - Open Pit Mine lyrics

From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow I could see Clifton in 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 pa**ed a store window with rings on display I bought the one 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 turned 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 huggin' and kissin' with somebody new It was there that I shot her while their arms where 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 nothing but trouble a-waiting for me But on the sun's next risin', I'll be satisfied Cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosie's side
