Beare of bad news carrier of good news you never know what's in his pack
|
When you've got bills due he hands you the sad news
|
From that letter pouch slung from his back
|
No matter what the weather is rain sleet or snow
|
Even when the going's rough the mail still has to go
|
Even though his feet hurt he's still got a job to do
|
Making sure the mail gets through to you

|
He wapes through a long week the bad dogs with sharp teets
|
And there's complaints he has to listen to
|
I thank you and a soft smile make it all seem worth while
|
When folks recieve a monthly check that's due
|
You stay in touch with folks at home through letters that he brings
|
And pictures in an envelope show how the families changed
|
When you write a letter to someone who's in love with you
|
He's the one who gets your message through
|
No matter what the weather is...
|
Making sure the mail gets through to you
