The Tie That Binds - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Roy Carter[00:00:01]
I was standing by my window yesterday morning[00:00:04]
Without a thought a worry or of care[00:00:11]
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway[00:00:17]
With such a smiling face and jolly hair[00:00:23]
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited[00:00:30]
He smiled and said good morning to you Jack[00:00:36]
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me[00:00:42]
When he handed me a letter edged in black[00:00:48]
With trembling hands I took the letter from him[00:00:55]
I open it and sifted what it said[00:01:02]
Come home my boy your dear old daddy wants you[00:01:08]
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead[00:01:14]
The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:27]
Tell my boy I want him to come back[00:01:34]
My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:01:40]
As I writing you this letter edged in black[00:01:46]
Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken[00:01:53]
You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack[00:02:00]
May the angels bear me witness I am asking[00:02:06]
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black[00:02:12]
