📝 歌词预览

[00:06.00]I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
[00:12.51]Without a thought of worry or of care
[00:18.21]When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
[00:24.30]With such a happy face and jolly air.
[00:30.87]He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
[00:37.02]Then he said; "Good morning to you, Jack"
[00:42.60]But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me
[00:48.69]When he handed me a letter edged in black.
[00:55.02]With trembling hand
[00:56.82]I took this letter from him
[01:01.35]I broke the seal and this is what it said:"Come home my boy, your dear old father wants youCome home my boy, your dear old mother's dead."
[01:44.16]I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness
[01:50.55]The sunshine of my life, it all had fled
[01:56.70]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 utteredTell my boy I want him to come backMy eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breakingSo, I'm writing you this letter edged in black.""Forget those angry words that we had spokenYou know I didn't mean them, don't you, JackMay the angels bear as witness, I am askingYour forgiveness in this letter edged in black."
