Rosewood Casket

[Verse] There's a little rosewood casket Lying on a marble stand And 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 I could not For the tears that filled my eyes) Last Sunday I saw him walking With a lady by his side And I thought I heard him tell her He would never be his bride When I'm dead and in my coffin And my shroud's around me bound And my narrow grave is ready In some lonely churchyard ground Take his letters and his locket Place together o'r my heart But the golden ring he gave me From my finger never part
