There's a little rosewood casket resting on a marble stand With a packet of old love letters written by my true love's hand Go and bring them to me sister read them o'er for me tonight I have often tried but could not for the tears that filled my eyes When I'm dead and in my casket when I gently fall asleep Fall asleep to wake in heaven dearest sister do not weep [ mandolin ] Take his letters and his locket place them gently on my heart But this golden ring that he gave me from my finger never part There's a little rosewood casket resting on a marble stand With a packet of old love letters written by my true love's hand [ ac.guitar - mandolin ]
