lirik lagu the letter edged in black – johnny cash
i was standin’ by my window yesterday morning
without a thought of worry or of care
when i saw the postman comin’ up the pathway
with such a happy face and jolly air.
he rang the bell and whistled as he waited
then he said; “good morning to you, jack”
but he little knew the sorrow he had brought me
when he handed me a letter edged in black.
with trembling hand i took this 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.”
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
“saying come home my boy, your dear old mother’s dead.”
“the last words your mother ever uttered
tell my boy i want him to come back
my eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
so, i’m writing you this letter edged in black.”
“forget those angry words that we had spoken
you know i didn’t mean them, don’t you, jack
may the angels bear as witness, i am asking
your forgiveness in this letter edged in black.”
