Little Rosewood Casket Lyrics
Little Rosewood Casket - Hank Thompson/His Brazos Valley Boys
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
Both the tears they blind my sight
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
