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 |
