letter edged in black - wilbert harrison lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was standin’
by my window
no longer
than yesterday
and i saw
the postman comin’
up the pathway
yes, up the pathway

[verse 2]
he rang the bell
i opened the door
then he reached
into his bag
then he gave
gave me a letter
edged in black

[verse 3]
it was tanned
trimmed and tanned
i took the letter
the letter it read
it said, “come home
come home, my son
your mother is gone
gone to hеaven”
[verse 4]
yes, friends, i bowеd
my head in sadness
when i opened
the letter and read
yes, i bowed
my head in sadness
since i heard
poor mother’s gone to heaven

[verse 5]
since that postman
brought me that letter
the light of my life
now has passed
i’m comin’ home
comin’ on home
but mother is gone
poor mother is gone
