The Letter Edged In Black (一柄黑色的信件) - Hank Snow[00:00:00]

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

Without a thought of worry or of care[00:00:16]

When I saw the postman coming' 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]

Then he said "Good morning to you Jack"[00:00:48]

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

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

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

I broke the seal and this is what it said:[00:01:19]

"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]

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

My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:01:58]

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

I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness[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]

"Forget those angry words that we had spoken[00:02:45]

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

May the angels bear as witness I am asking[00:03:01]

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