Mailman : please stop by my box today
You know I'm looking for a letter from my baby : you know 
I want to hear from her right away
Reason I ain't been getting no mail : you know I done 
found out what it's all about
You know the mailman been getting drunk : he been leaving 
my mail at somebody else's house
Now I been waiting on the mailman : he usually come 
around about eleven o'clock
Now I guess he must have had car trouble : or either the 
road must be blocked
Mailman : please don't you lose your head
You know I'm looking for a letter from my babe : some of 
my people might be dead
