《The Letter Edged in Black》歌词

[00:00:00] The Letter Edged In Black (一柄黑色的信件) - Texas Ruby/Curly Fox

[00:00:07] I was standin' by my window yesterday morning

[00:00:14] Without a thought of worry or of care

[00:00:20] When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway

[00:00:27] With such a happy face and jolly air

[00:00:33] He rang the bell and whistled as he waited

[00:00:40] Then he said; "Good morning to you Jack"

[00:00:46] But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me

[00:00:52] As he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:01:12] But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me

[00:01:18] As he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:01:24] With trembling hands I took the letter from him

[00:01:31] I opened it and this is what it said

[00:01:37] Come home my boy your dear old father needs you

[00:01:44] Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

[00:02:14] Those words your mother ever uttered

[00:02:21] Were tell my boy I want him to come back

[00:02:27] The angels bear me witness I am asking

[00:02:33] Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
