The Letter Edged in Black (Remaster) - Hank Snow[00:00:01]

Written by：Roy Carter[00:00:03]

I was standin' by my window yesterday morning[00:00:08]

Without a thought of worry or of care[00:00:17]

When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway[00:00:24]

With such a happy face and jolly air[00:00:32]

He rang the bell and whistled as he waited[00:00:40]

And then he said good morning to you Jack[00:00:48]

But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me[00:00:56]

As he handed me a letter edged in black[00:01:03]

With trembling hand I took that letter from him[00:01:12]

I broke the seal and this is what it said[00:01:20]

Come home my boy your dear old father wants you[00:01:27]

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead[00:01:35]

The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:43]

Were tell my boy I want him to come back[00:01:51]

My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:01:59]

Well I'm writing you this letter edged in black[00:02:06]

I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence[00:02:14]

The sunshine of my life it all had fled[00:02:22]

Since the post man brought that letter yesterday morning[00:02:29]

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead[00:02:37]

Those angry words that we share never spoken[00:02:45]

You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack[00:02:53]

May the angels bear as message I am sending[00:03:01]

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black[00:03:08]
