The Little Rosewood Casket Recorded by Hank Thompson Traditional In a little [G7] Rosewood [C] casket In the hall up-[G7] on a [C] stand There's a package of [F] old love [C] letters Written [G7] by a true love's [C] 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. Place his letters and his picture 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 live I want to be there close beside him When they lay me down to die. Note.
