Subject: Lyr Req: Open Pit Mine From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 24 Sep 06 - 08:44 PM 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: href="http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6664756/a/20+Original+Greatest+Hits.htm">http://www.cduniverse.com/sea 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 |

Subject: Lyr Add: OPEN PIT MINE (George Jones) From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 26 Sep 06 - 08:40 AM 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 |
