Rosewood Casket (Traditional) Vocal: Dolly Parton Harmony Vocals: Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt Acoustic Guitar: Albert Lee Mandolin: Mark O'Connor Dulcimer: David Lindley Ferrington Acoustic Bass: Kenny Edwards There's a little rosewood casket Resting on a marble stand With a pocket 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 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 Place them gently on my heart But this golden ring that he gave me From my finger never part (Chorus) Copyright 1980 by Song Yard Music
