The Little Rosebud Casket

歌詞

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
