24 Sep 06 - 08:44 PM (#1842499) 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: 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 |

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 |
