(Avie Lee Parton) 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. --- Instrumental --- 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. --- Instrumental to fade ---
