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
