The Little Rosewood Casket

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In a little Rosewood casket In the hall upon a stand There's a package of old love letters Written by a true love's hand [Verse 2] Won't you go and get them sister Read them o'er to me tonight I have tried so hard to read them But the tears they blind my sight [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Place his letters and his pictures Both together by my heart With a little ring he gave me From my finger never shall part [Verse 4] When I'm dеad and in my casket And deep in my grave I lie I want to bе there close beside him When they lay me down to die
