1
I was standing by my window yesterday morning
2
Without a thought a worry or of care
3
When I saw the postman coming down the pathway
4
With such a happy smile and jolly air
5
He rang the bell and he whistled while he waited
6
And then he said good morning to you Jack
7
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
8
When he handed me a letter edged in black
9
With trembling hands I took the letter from him
10
I broke the seal and this is what it said
11
Come home my boy your poor old father wants you
12
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
13
Your mother's last words she ever uttered
14
Was tell my boy I want him to come back
15
Oh my eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking
16
While I'm writing you this letter edged in black
17
Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken
18
You know I did not mean them don't you Jack
19
May the angels bear me witness I am asking
20
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
21
I can see the postman whistling every morning
22
Coming down the pathway with his pack
23
But he never knew the sorrow that he brought me
24
When he handed me a letter edged in black
