Stonewall Jackson - Letter Edged In Black Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was standing by my window yesterday morning
  • Without a thought a worry or of care
  • When I saw the postman coming up the pathway
  • With such a jolly face and jolly hair
  • He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited
  • He smiled and said good morning to you Jack
  • He little knew the sorrow that he brought me
  • When he handed me that letter edged in black
  • With trembling hands I took the letter from him I opened it and this is how it read
  • Come home my boy your dear old father needs you
  • Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
  • I'm sorry that harsh words were ever spoken
  • You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack
  • My eyes are blurred my poor old hand is shaking
  • As I'm writing you this letter edged in black
  • The last words that your mother ever uttered
  • Was tell my boy I want him to come back
  • The angels bear me witness as I'm asking
  • Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
