[Verse 1]
[G]I was standing b[D]y m[G]y window
[D]no [G]lon[C]ger[G][C]
[D]than [C]yesterday
[G]Whe[D]n I s[G]aw the
[D]pos[G]tman
coming [D]up [G]the pathway[D]
Guess up the pathway, he rang the [G]bell
I opened the door,
then he [C]reached in[D]to [C]his pac[G]k
Then he gave, [D]gave [G]me a [D]letter
He isn't [G]black, [C]he isn't [G]black
And with hands, trembling hands
I took [Bm]the l[C]etter, the letter it r[G]ead
It said, come home, [D]come [G]home my [D]son
Your mother is [G]gone,
[C]gone on her [G]head
Yes, friends
I [C]bow my head in sadness
When I [G]open the letter in red
Yes, I [C]bow my head in sadness
Since I [D]heard poor mother's
gone ahead
Since that [G]postman wrote me that letter
Oh, life, my [C]life now has [G]fled
I'm coming home, coming on [D]home
But mother is [G]gone, [C]oh, mother is [G]gone
