Mailman

Please stop by my box today

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

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 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

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
