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
