The Letter Edged In Black - Hank Snow
Written by：Roy Carter
I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
With such a happy face and jolly air
He rang the bell and 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 hand 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
Well 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 post man brought that letter yesterday morning
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
Those angry words that we share never spoken
You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack
May the angels bear as message I am sending
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
