The Little Rosebud Casket |
There’s a little rosebud casket |
Sitting on a marvel stand |
There’s a package of love-letters |
Written by my true lovers hand |
Go and bring them to me, sister |
Come and sit upon my bed, |
Lay your head upon my pillow |
Then I’ll hear every word he said |
Read them over to me, sister |
Read them till I fall asleep |
Fall asleep to wake with Jesus |
O dear sister, do not weep |
Sister, go and tell him for me |
That I would have been his wife |
That in death I stronger love him |
Even than I could in life |
Bid him not to weep, dear sister |
Even though we’re torn apart |
He must learn to love another |
Time will ease the broken heart |
But if he never finds another |
Life is short and time is fleet |
Tell him that we’ll meet in Heaven |
Where our joy will be complete |
There’s a little rosebud casket |
Sitting on a marvel stand |
There’s a package of love-letters |
Written by her true lover’s hand |
