Harris, Emmylou - Rosewood Casket Lyrics
There's a little rosewood casket
Resting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true love's hand
Read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried by could not
For the tears that filled my eyes
When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake in heaven
Dearest sister do not weep
Take his letters and his locket
But this golden ring that he gave me
From my finger never part
When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake in heaven
Dearest sister do not weep

Harris, Emmylou Rosewood Casket Comments
Criminally underrated song tbh
100% great vocals by angel voices
One of the songs our mother used to sing and play on a tabletop autoharp. The other was Weeping Willow Tree. This brings Mama back to me. Wish I could hear it with an autoharp.
Thank you Dolly, Linda and Emmylou.
I love trio songs 👍👍👍👍
It make me cry
one of the first songs mom taught us. While doing dishes for a family of 10, we would sing songs such as some of these....my mom sang this song with her 3 other sisters on the radio.. memories God Bless
"Little Rosewood Casket" (1870) by Louis P. Goullaud (ca. 1839 – 1919) and Edward W. White (?-?), Boston Massachusetts
