The Letter Edged In Black 歌词
The Letter Edged In Black - Hank Snow
I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
With such a happy face and jolly air
He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
And then he said good morning to you jack
But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me
As he handed me a letter edged in black
With trembling hand I took this letter from him
I broke the seal and this is what it said
Come home my boy your dear old father wants you
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
The last words your mother ever uttered
Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking
Why I'm writing you this letter edged in black
I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness
The sunshine of my life it all had fled
Scene the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
Those angry words that we had never spoken
You know I didn't mean them don't you jack
May the angels bear as witness I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
