Letter Edged In Black |
I was standing by my window yesterday morning |
Without a thought a worry or of care |
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway |
With such a jolly face and jolly hair |
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited |
He smiled and said good morning to you Jack |
He little knew the sorrow that he brought me When he handed me that letter edged in black |
With trembling hands I took the letter from him I opened it and this is how it read |
Come home my boy your dear old father needs you |
Come home my boy your dear old mother’s dead |
I’m sorry that harsh words were ever spoken |
You know I didn’t mean them don’t you Jack |
My eyes are blurred my poor old hand is shaking |
As I’m writing you this letter edged in black |
The last words that your mother ever uttered |
Was tell my boy I want him to come back |
The angels bear me witness as I’m asking |
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black |
