Letter Edged In Black
Ton : GCapo 1English
I Gwas standing by my window yesterday moDrnin?
Without a thought of worry or of regGret
When I saw the postman coming down the pCathway
He was brDingin? me a letter edged in blGack
Well heG rang the bell and whistled while heD waited
Than he said good morning to you JaGck
But he never knew the sorrow that he broCught me
When he haDnded me that letter edged in blGack
With tremGbling hand I took the letter from hiDm
I broke the seal and this is what it saGid
Come home my boy your dear old father wCants you
Come home myD boy your dear old mother's deGad
The laGst words that your mother ever utDtered
Was tell my boy I want him to come baGck
My eyes are dim my poor old heart is breCakin?
And I?m writDing you this letter edged in blGack
I boGwed my head in sorrow and then in silDence
The sunshine of my life it all has flGed
Since the postman brought that letter yesterday moCrnin?
Sayin? come home mDy boy your poor old mother?s daGy
ThoGse angry words I wish I?d never spDoken
You know I never meant them don?t you JaGck
May the angels bear me witness I am asCking
Your forgiDveness in this letter edged in blGack
