Lyrics Open Pit Mine - George Jones
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
