I was standing by my window yesterday morning Without a thought of worry or of care When I saw a postman coming up the pathway With such a happy face and jolly air.
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited And then he said good morning to you Jack But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me As he handed me a 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 blurred my poor old heart is breaking While I'm writing you this letter edged in black.
I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence The sunshine of my life it all had fled Since the postman brought that letter yesterday morning Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead.
Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken You know I did not mean them don't you Jack May the angels bear this message I am sending Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black...
