Letter Edged in Black (黑色的字母) - Hank Snow

I was standing by

My window yesterday morning

Without a thought of worry or of care

When I saw a postman coming up the pathway

With such a happy face and jolly air

He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited

And then he said good morning to you Jack

But he little knew

The sorrow that he brought me

As he handed me a letter edged in black

With trembling hands

I took that letter from him

I broke the seal and this is what it said

Come home my boy

Your dear old father wants you

Come home my boy your

Dear old mother's dead

The last words your mother ever uttered

Were tell my boy I want him to come back

My eyes are blurred

My poor old heart is breaking

While I'm writing you this letter edged in black

I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence

The sunshine of my life it all had fled

Since the postman brought

That letter yesterday morning

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken

You know I did not mean them don't you Jack

May the angels bear this message I am sending

Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
