Robe Of White Lyrics - Singles - Louvin Brothers

The Postman knocked and waited for her sweet face to appear 

A face that showed her heart was full of joy, 

In the cottage doorway smiling through her tears 

Each time he brought a message from her boy 

Her calloused hands were trembling, 

The postman noticed too 

That her sweet and anxious face was white 

Would this be the letter that she had waited for, 

And would it tell her that he was alright

I'm sorry said the postman, I must ask you to sign 

This little book that I have brought along 

You see this letter's registered, he slowly bowed his head 

And then she knew that there was something wrong 

The address on the corner,of this envelope of blue 

Told her that her darling son was dead 

where Jimmy;s name and number , 

had always been before, 

His captain's name was written there instead

Dear GOD they've made my darling's grave, 

Thou knowest of his soul 

She prays a humble prayer to GOD each night 

Place on his grave a blooming rose, 

so all the world can see 

My soldier boy has won his robe of white
