1
I was standing by my window yesterday morning
2
Without a thought of worry or of care
3
When I saw a postman coming up the pathway
4
With such a happy face and jolly air
5
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited
6
And then he said good morning to you, Jack
7
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
8
As he handed me a letter edged in black
9
With trembling hands I took that letter from him
10
I broke the seal and this is what it said
11
Come home my boy, your dear old father wants you
12
Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead
13
The last words your mother ever uttered were
14
Tell my boy I want him to come back
15
My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
16
While I'm writing you this letter edged in black
17
I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence
18
The sunshine of my life it all had fled
19
Since the postman brought that letter yesterday morning
20
Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead
21
Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken
22
You know I did not mean them, don't you, Jack?
23
May the angels bear this message I am sending
24
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
