《The Letter Edged in Black》歌词

[00:00:00] The Letter Edged in Black (一柄黑色的信件) - Hank Snow

[00:00:08] I was standin' by my window yesterday morning

[00:00:17] Without a thought of worry or of care

[00:00:24] When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway

[00:00:32] With such a happy face and jolly air

[00:00:40] He rang the bell and whistled as he waited

[00:00:48] And then he said good morning to you jack

[00:00:56] But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me

[00:01:03] As he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:01:12] With trembling hand I took this letter from him

[00:01:20] I broke the seal and this is what it said

[00:01:27] Come home my boy your dear old father wants you

[00:01:35] Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

[00:01:43] The last words your mother ever uttered

[00:01:51] Tell my boy I want him to come back

[00:01:59] My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking

[00:02:06] Why I'm writing you this letter edged in black

[00:02:14] I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness

[00:02:22] The sunshine of my life it all had fled

[00:02:29] Scene the post man brought that letter yesterday morning

[00:02:37] Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

[00:02:45] Those angry words that we had never spoken

[00:02:53] You know I didn't mean them don't you jack

[00:03:01] May the angels bear as witness I am asking

[00:03:08] Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
