Subject: Lyr Req: Open Pit Mine
From: Sandy Mc Lean

I have been searching for lyrics of an old George Jones hit of the early 1960's called "Open Pit Mine."
A sound clip can be found here:

I have a recording of the song and can easily transcribe the words but I am curious as to why the lyrics seem to have been intentionally erased from any website that a search engine turns up. Has there been some dispute over this song that may have caused this action?
                              Thanks,
                                  Sandy

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
From 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 one she wanted; how they really did shine
Spent the money I'd 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 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 rising I'll be satisfied
'Cause they'll find me there sleeping by my sweet Rosie's side
