Thread Name: Origins: Little Rosewood Casket
Subject: Rosewood Casket
Does anyone have the words to an old folk song? Words go - It might not be titled "Rosewood Casket". My mom remebers her grandmother sang it.

In a little rosewood casket..raise the window higher, mother, air can never harm me now. Maybe it will cool my feverish brow...give my shoes to little brother, I can never wear them now."

Many, many thanks if anyone recalls this song.
