chorus :
G D7 G
there’s a little rosewood casket
G D7 G
resting on a marble stand
G C G
with a packet of old love letters
D7 G
written by my true love’s hand
G D7 G
go and bring them to me , sister
G D7 G
read them o’er for me tonight
G C G
i have often tried by could not
D7 G
for the tears that filled my eyes
D7 G
when i’m dead and in my casket
D7 G
when i gently fall asleep
G C G
fall asleep to wake in heaven
D7 G
dearest sister do not weep
D7 G D7 G
take his letters and his locket
G D7 G
place them gently on my heart
G C G
but this golden ring that he gave me
D7 G
from my finger never part
