Artist:George Jones Song: Open Pit Mine G C G From Morenci, Arizona where the copper mines glow G G I could see Clifton in the canyon below G C G In Clifton lived Rosey, we danced and we dined G D G On the money I made in the open pit mine. G C G I loved my sweet Rosey and she loved me too G G There was nothin' for Rosey that I wouldn't do G C G Her hugs and her kisses they were something devine G D G Gave me reason for working the open pit mine. [Instrumental] G C G While I was out walkin' with my Rosey one day G G We passed a store window with rings on display G C G I bought those she wanted, how they really did shine G D G With the money I scraped from that open pit mine. G C G Her love would bring heartbreak that I would soon learn G G 'Cause she would concern me when my back was turned? G C G Rosey would go dancin' and drink the red wine G D G While I worked like a slave in that open pit mine. [Instrumental] G C G One night I caught Rosey on her rendevous G G She was huggin' and kissin' with somebody new G C G It was there that I shot 'em while their arms were entwined G D G Then I buried her deep in that open pit mine. G C G I took a look at my future and what did I see G G There was nothin' but trouble a-waiting for me G D G But on the sun's next rising I'll be satisfied C
