Letter Edged in Black (黑色的字母) - Johnny Horton
I was standing by my window yesterday morning

Without a thought of worry or of care

When I saw the postman coming up the pathway

With such a smiling face and jolly air

He rang the bell and whistled as he waited

He smiled and said good morning to you Jack

But he little knew the sorrow that he gave me
When he handed me a letter edged in black

And with trembling hand I took this letter from him

I open this and here is what it said

Come home my boy your dear old father need you

Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

This words the last your mother ever uttered

Will tell my boy I want him to come back

My eyes are blurred my poor heart nearly breakin'

As I'm writing you this letter edged in black

When I bowed my head in sadness and in sorrow

The sunshine in my life it all has fled

Since the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

Those hurts words I'm sorry they were spoken

You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack

The angels bear me witness I am asking

Your forgiveness in the letter edged in black
