Johnny Cash - The letter edged in black

I^G was standing by my window yesterday m^Dornin? Without a thought of worry or of re^Ggret When I saw the postman coming down the ^Cpathway He was b^Dringin? me a letter edged in b^Glack Well h^Ge rang the bell and whistled while h^De waited Than he said good morning to you J^Gack But he never knew the sorrow that he br^Cought me When he h^Danded me that letter edged in b^Glack With tre^Gmbling hand I took the letter from h^Dim I broke the seal and this is what it s^Gaid Come home my boy your dear old father ^Cwants you Come home m^Dy boy your dear old mother's d^Gead The l^Gast words that your mother ever u^Dttered Was tell my boy I want him to come b^Gack My eyes are dim my poor old heart is br^Ceakin? And I?m wri^Dting you this letter edged in b^Glack

I b^Gowed my head in sorrow and then in si^Dlence The sunshine of my life it all has f^Gled Since the postman brought that letter yesterday m^Cornin? Sayin? come home ^Dmy boy your poor old mother?s d^Gay

Th^Gose angry words I wish I?d never s^Dpoken You know I never meant them don?t you J^Gack May the angels bear me witness I am a^Csking Your forg^Diveness in this letter edged in b^Glack
