The Letter Edged In Black - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

Written by：Public Domain/Blackwell[00:00:03]

I was standing by my window yesterday morning[00:00:04]

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

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

With such a happy face and jolly air[00:00:25]

He rang the bell and whistled as he waited[00:00:32]

Then he said good morning to you jack[00:00:40]

But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me[00:00:46]

When he handed me a letter edged in black[00:00:53]

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

I broke the seal and this is what it said[00:01:07]

Come home my boy your dear old father wants you[00:01:14]

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead[00:01:21]

I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness[00:01:28]

The sunshine of my life it all had fled[00:01:35]

When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning[00:01:42]

Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead[00:01:49]

The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:56]

Tell my boy I want him to come back[00:02:04]

My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:02:10]

So I'm writing you this letter edged in black[00:02:17]

Forget those angry words that we had spoken[00:02:24]

You know I didn't mean them don't you jack[00:02:31]

May the angels bear as witness I am asking[00:02:38]

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black[00:02:44]
