The Tie That Binds - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)
Written by：Roy Carter
I was standing by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought a worry or of care
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway
With such a smiling face and jolly hair
He rang the bell and he whistled as he waited
He smiled and said good morning to you Jack
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
When he handed me a letter edged in black
With trembling hands I took the letter from him
I open it and sifted what it said
Come home my boy your dear old daddy wants you
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead
The last words your mother ever uttered
Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking
As I writing you this letter edged in black
Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken
You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack
May the angels bear me witness I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black
