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
G D7/F# G (2)
Go and bring them to me, sister
G D7/F# G (2)
Read them o'er for me tonight

I have often tried by could not
D7/F# (2) G (2)
For the tears that filled my eyes

Fall asleep to wake in heaven

Dearest sister do not weep

From my finger never part
