The Little Rosewood Casket Lyrics

Hank Thompson - THE LITTLE ROSEWOOD CASKETIn a little rosewood casket In the hall upon a tsand There's a package of old love letters Written by a true love's hand 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 Place his letters and his picture Both together by my heart With a little ring he gave me From my finger ne'er shall part When I'm dead and in my casket And deep in my grave I live I want to be there close beside him When they lay me down to die
