歌詞

I was standin' by my window yesterday mornin' Without a thought of worry or of care When I saw the postman coming up the pathway With such a happy face and carefree 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 that letter edged in black With trembling hands 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 dimmed, my poor old heart is broken As I write to you this letter edged in black Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken You know I did not mean them, don't you, Jack? May the angels bear me witness I am asking Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness The sunshine of my life it all had fled Since the postman brought that letter yesterday mornin' Sayin', "Come home, my boy, your mother dear is dead" I could hear the postman whistlin' yesterday mornin' Coming up the pathway with his pack But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me As he handed me that letter edged in black
