Little Rosewood Casket Lyrics

In a little Rosewood casket in the hall up on a stand
There's a package of old love letters written by a true love's hand
Won't you go and get them sister read them o'er to me tonight
I have tried so hard to read them but the tears they blind my sight
[ guitar ]Hank Thompson - Little Rosewood Casket - http://motolyrics.com/hank-thompson/little-rosewood-casket-lyrics.html
Place his letters and his pictures both together by my heart
With a little ring he gave me from my finger ne'er shall part
When I'm dead and in my casket and deep in my grave I lie

I want to be there close beside him when they lay me down to die
