the mountain ramblers - rosewood casket lyrics

Loading...

in a little rosewood casket
that is resting on the stand
there’s a packet of old letters
written by her cherished hand

won’t you go and get them sister
read them all over to me
oftentimes i’ve tried to read them
but for tears i could not see

read those precious lines so clearly
that i won’t receive in one
oh the precious hand that’s spends ’em
his last work for me is donе

when i’m dead and in my coffin
and my shroud around me is bound
and my littlе bed is ready
in the cold and silent ground

take his letters and his locket
place together over my heart
and the little ring he gave me
from my finger never part

now you’ve read them all there sister
won’t you read them all again?
while i listen to you read them
i’ll lose all sense of pain
while i listen to you read them
i will gently fall asleep
fall asleep to wake with jesus
oh dear sister do not weep
