jean ritchie – the little rosebud casket lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s a little rosebud casket
sitting on a marvel stand
there’s a package of love letters
written by my true lover’s hand
[verse 2]
go and bring them to me, sister
come and sit upon my bed
lay your head upon my pillow
then i’ll hear every word he said
[fiddle solo]
[verse 3]
read them over to me, sister
read them ’til i fall asleep
fall asleep to wake with jesus
o dear sister, do not weep
[verse 4]
sister, go and tell him for me
that i would have been his wife
that in death i stronger love him
even than i could in life
[verse 5]
bid him not to weep, dear sister
even though we’re torn apart
he must learn to love another
time will ease the broken heart
[banjo solo]
[verse 6]
but if he never finds another
life is short and time is fleet
tell him that we’ll meet in heaven
where our joy will be complete
[verse 7]
there’s a little rosebud casket
sitting on a marvel stand
there’s a package of love letters
written by her true lover’s hand
