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 up the pathway
4
With such a jolly face and jolly hair
5
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited
6
He smiled and said good morning to you Jack
7
He little knew the sorrow that he brought me
8
When he handed me that letter edged in black
9
With trembling hands I took the letter from him I opened it and this is how it read
10
Come home my boy your dear old father needs you
11
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
12
I'm sorry that harsh words were ever spoken
13
You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack
14
My eyes are blurred my poor old hand is shaking
15
As I'm writing you this letter edged in black
16
The last words that your mother ever uttered
17
Was tell my boy I want him to come back
18
The angels bear me witness as I'm asking
19
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
