Open Pit Mine

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 passed 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
