The Letter Edged in Black - Texas Ruby/Curly Fox

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

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

But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me

As he handed me a letter edged in black

With trembling hands I took the letter from him

I opened it and this is what it said

Come home my boy your dear old father needs you

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

Those words your mother ever uttered

Were tell my boy I want him to come back

The angels bear me witness I am asking

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
