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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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