LETTER EDGED IN BLACK

JOHNNY CASH

Capo I

Tonalité :

I was standing by my window yesterday mo rnin?

Without a thought of worry or of reg ret

When I saw the postman coming down the p athway

He was br ingin? me a letter edged in bl ack

Well he rang the bell and whistled while he waited

Than he said good morning to you Ja ck

But he never knew the sorrow that he bro ught me

When he ha nded me that letter edged in bl ack

With trem bling hand I took the letter from hi m

I broke the seal and this is what it sa id

Come home my boy your dear old father w ants you

Come home my boy your dear old mother's de ad

The la st words that your mother ever ut tered

Was tell my boy I want him to come ba ck

My eyes are dim my poor old heart is bre akin?

And I?m writ ing you this letter edged in bl ack

I bo wed my head in sorrow and then in sil ence

The sunshine of my life it all has fl ed

Since the postman brought that letter yesterday mo rnin?

Sayin? come home m y boy your poor old mother?s da y

Tho se angry words I wish I?d never sp oken

You know I never meant them don?t you Ja ck

May the angels bear me witness I am as king

Your forgi veness in this letter edged in bl ack
