The Letter Edged In Black - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)/Public Domain
Written by：Public Domain/Blackwell
I was standing by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway
With such a happy 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 he had brought me
When he handed me a letter edged in black
With trembling hand I took this 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
I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness
The sunshine of my life it all had fled
When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
Saying 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
So I'm writing you this letter edged in black
Forget those angry words that we had spoken
You know I didn't mean them don't you jack
May the angels bear as witness I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
