allan "mac" mchale & the old-time radio gang - the letter edged in black lyrics

… one that goes way back, and i think some of the old folks will remember it, and hope you all like it
it’s our version of a little old song called “the letter edged in black”

well, i was standin’ by my window yesterday morning
without a thought of worry or of care
when i saw the postman comin’ up the pathway
with such a happy smile and jolly air

and he rang the bell and whistled while he waited
then he said, good mornin’ to you, jack
but he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
when he handed mе that letter edgеd in black

now with trembling hands, i took the letter from him
and i broke the seal, and this is what it said
well, come home, my boy, your dear old mother wants you
oh, come home, my boy, your dear old father’s dead

and those angry words i wish we’d never spoken
and i hope you will forgive them––won’t you, jack?
may the angels up above send down forgiveness
while i’m writing you this letter edged in black

well, the postman came up the pathway yesterday morning
and he was whistlin’ with his pack upon his back
but he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
when he handed me that letter edged in black
[unknown]
(nice job, herb)
