[ Featuring Dolly Parton & Family, Avie Lee Parton ]
There's a little rosewood casket
Sitting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true love's hand
Go and bring them to me sister
Read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried but I could not
For the tears that dim my eyes
When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep, do wake up in Heaven
Dear sister, do not weep
Take his letters and his locket
Place them gently o're my heart
But this golden ring he gave me
From my finger never part
There's a little rosewood casket
Sitting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true love's hand
