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

[ fiddle ]

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
