《The Letter Edged In Black》歌词

[00:00:00] The Letter Edged In Black-Johnny Cash

[00:00:06] I was standing by my window yesterday morning

[00:00:12] Without a thought of worry or of care

[00:00:18] When I saw the postman coming up the pathway

[00:00:24] When he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:00:30] Well He rang the bell and whistled as he waited

[00:00:36] Then he said; "Good morning to you Jack"

[00:00:42] But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me

[00:00:48] When he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:00:55] With trembling hand I took this letter from him

[00:01:01] I broke the seal and this is what it said:

[00:01:07] "Come home my boy your dear old father wants you

[00:01:13] Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "

[00:01:20] The last words that your mother ever uttered

[00:01:26] Tell my boy I want him to come back

[00:01:32] My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking I'm writing you this letter edged in black "

[00:01:44] 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

[00:02:02] "Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "

[00:02:09] "Forget those angry words that wish i never spoken

[00:02:15] You know I never mean them don't you Jack

[00:02:20] May the angels bear as witness I am asking

[00:02:26] Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black "
