The Letter Edged In Black - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

I was standin' by my window yesterday morning[00:00:06]

Without a thought of worry or of care[00:00:12]

When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway[00:00:18]

With such a happy face and jolly air [00:00:24]

He rang the bell and whistled as he waited[00:00:30]

Then he said; "Good morning to you Jack"[00:00:37]

But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me[00:00:42]

When he handed me a letter edged in black [00:00:48]

With trembling hand I took this letter from him[00:00:55]

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

"Come home my boy your dear old father wants you[00:01:07]

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "[00:01:14]

"The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:19]

Tell my boy I want him to come back[00:01:25]

My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:01:31]

So I'm writing you this letter edged in black "[00:01:38]

I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness[00:01:44]

The sunshine of my life it all had fled[00:01:50]

When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning[00:01:56]

"Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "[00:02:02]

"Forget those angry words that we had spoken[00:02:08]

You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack[00:02:14]

May the angels bear as witness I am asking[00:02:20]

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black "[00:02:26]
