vernon dalhart - the little rosewood casket lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a little rosebud casket
setting on a marble stand
there’s a package of love letters
written by my true love’s hand

[verse 2]
go and bring them to me, brother
come and sit upon my bed
lay your head upon my pillow
while my aching heart grows dead

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
read them gently to me, brother
read them till i fall asleep
fall asleep to wake in heaven
oh dear brother, do not weep

[verse 4]
last sunday i saw him walking
with a lady by his side
and i thought i heard him tell her
she could never be his bride
[verse 5]
i’ve seen him coming up to the pathway
brother, meet him at the door
tell him that i will forgive him
if he’ll court the girl no more

[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
he is coming up the pathway
brother, meet him at the door
tell him that i will forgive him
if he’ll court that girl no more

[verse 7]
when i’m dead and in my coffin
and my friends are gathered ’round
and my narrow grave is ready
in some lonesome churchyard ground

[verse 1]
there’s a little rosebud casket
setting on a marble stand
there’s a package of old letters
written by my true love’s hand
