Little Rosewood Casket

歌詞

There's a little rosewood casket That is resting on the stand And a packet of old love letters Written by my love's own 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 till I fall asleep Fall asleep to wake in heaven Oh, Dear brother, do not weep Last night I saw him walking With the maid by his side And I thought I heard him tell her She could never be be his bride When at last I'm gone forever And my friends have gathered 'round And my narrow grave is ready In some lonesome churchyard ground There's a little rosewood casket That is resting on the stand There's a packet of old love letters Written by my love's own hand
