Lorraine Don,t know what happen with that addy, but here goes,, I was standing by my window yesterday morning Without a thought of worry or care When I saw the postman coming up the pathway With such a happy smile and jolly air He rang the bell and whistled while he waited And then he said, good morning to you Jack But little he knew the sorrow he bought me When he handed me the Letter Edged in Black With trembling hands I took the letter from him I broke the seal an' this is what it read Come home my boy, your dear old father wants you Come home my boy, your dear old mothers dead Those angry words I wish I never spok'un Tho you know I didn,t mean them, don,t you Jack My eyes are blurred, my poor ole heart is broken While I,m writting you this letter Edged in Black Th' last words that your Mother ever spok'un Was, tell my boy I want him to come back Hope this helps, Ken
