Stonewall Jackson - Letter Edged In Black слова песни
I was standing by my window yesterday morningWithout a thought a worry or of careWhen I saw the postman coming up the pathwayWith such a jolly face and jolly hairHe rang the bell and he whistled as he waitedHe smiled and said good morning to you JackHe little knew the sorrow that he brought meWhen he handed me that letter edged in blackWith trembling hands I took the letter from him I opened it and this is how it readCome home my boy your dear old father needs youCome home my boy your dear old mother`s deadI`m sorry that harsh words were ever spokenYou know I didn`t mean them don`t you JackMy eyes are blurred my poor old hand is shakingAs I`m writing you this letter edged in blackThe last words that your mother ever utteredWas tell my boy I want him to come backThe angels bear me witness as I`m askingYour forgiveness in this letter edged in black
