Hank Thompson - The Little Rosewood Casket guitar chord

Hank Thompson

The Little Rosewood Casket

In a little (G7) Rosewood (C) casket

In the hall up-(G7) on a (C) stand

There's a package of (F) old love (C) letters

Written (G7) by a true love's (C) hand.

Won't you go and get them, sister

Read them o'er to me tonight

I have tried so hard to read them

But the tears, they blind my sight.

Place his letters and his picture

Both together by my heart

With a little ring he gave me

>From my finger ne'er shall part.

When I'm dead and in my casket

And deep in my grave I live

I want to be there close beside him

When they lay me down to die.
