The Letter Edged In Black - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)
I was standing by my window
Yesterday morning
Without a thought of sorrow or of care
When I saw the postman coming
Up the pathway
With such a smiling face and jolly air
He rang the bell and whistled
As he waited
Then he said Good morning
To you Jack
But he little knew the sorrow
That he brought me
When he handed me a letter
Edged in black
With trembling hands I took the letter
From him
I opened it and this is what it said
Come home my boy
Your dear old daddy wants you
Come home my boy
Your dear old mother's dead
The last words your mother ever uttered
Tell my boy I want him
To come back
My eyes are blurred
My poor old heart is breaking
As I'm writing you this letter
Edged in black
Those angry words I wish
I'd never spoken
You know I didn't mean them
Don't you Jack
May the angels bear me witness
I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter
Edged in black
