The Letter Edged in Black - Jimmy Reeves[00:00:00]

Written by：Roy Carter[00:00:02]

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

Without a thought of sorrow or of care[00:00:11]

When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway[00:00:17]

With such a smiling 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 that he brought me[00:00:42]

When he handed me a letter edged in black[00:00:49]

With trembling hands I took the letter from him[00:00:55]

I open it and this is 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[00:01:15]

The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:28]

Tell my boy I want him to come back[00:01:34]

My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking[00:01:41]

As I write to you this letter edged in black[00:01:47]

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[00:02:13]
