[00:00.00]I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
[00:10.15]Without a thought of sorrow or of care
[00:16.89]When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
[00:26.54]With such a smiling face and jolly air
[00:32.95]He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
[00:41.37]Then he said; "Good morning to you, Jack"
[00:48.33]But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
[00:57.17]When he handed me a letter edged in black
[01:03.95]With trembling hands I took the letter from him
[01:13.25]I open it and sifted what it said:
[01:20.10]"Come home my boy, your dear old daddy wants you
[01:29.83]Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead."
[01:36.57]--- Instrumental ---
[01:52.92]"The last words your mother ever uttered
[02:00.67]Tell my boy I want him to come back
[02:07.49]My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
[02:17.37]As, I write to you this letter edged in black."
[02:24.16]"Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken
[02:33.40]You know I didn't mean them, don't you, Jack
[02:40.50]May the angels bear me witness, I am asking
[02:50.05]Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black."...

Without a thought of sorrow or of care

With trembling hands I took the letter from him

Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead."
