Rosewood Casket |
| There’s a little rosewood casket |
| That is resting on the stand |
| There’s a package of old letters |
| Written by my loved one’s hand |
| Go and bring them to me, brother |
| Come and sit upon my bed |
| Lay your head upon my pillow |
| While each cherished line is read |
| Read them gently to me, brother |
| Read them 'til I fall asleep |
| For the sleep to wake in heaven |
| Oh dear brother do not weep |
| Last night I saw him walking |
| With a lady by his side |
| And I thought I heard him tell her |
| She could never be his bride |
| When at last I’m gone forever |
| And my friends are gathered round |
| And my narrow grave is ready |
| In some lonesome church yard ground |
| There’s a little rosewood casket |
| That is resting on the stand |
| There’s a package of old letters |
| Written by my loved one’s hand |
