A mail boy's life is a lonely life
A-riding the hills and the plains
There ain't no pill in the doctor's book
To cure the lonesome pains
I'm just on time and I'll stay on time
If my lonesome heart don't fail
There's that pretty little girl again
And I've got to carry the mail
Hold old Paint while I straddle old Ball
And I'll get along the trail
I ain't got time for to talk to you now
'Cause I've got to carry the mail
The moon is light and your eyes are bright
And I'd love to tell you a tale
But I ain't got time for to talk to you now
'Cause I've got to carry the mail
If Uncle Sam would set me free
I know just what I'd do
I'd ride along on the old mail trail
And hug me a girl or two
There's one that keeps on a-deviling me
With her chatter and her song
If I had time, I'd stop right now
And talk to her all night long
Hold old Paint while I straddle old Ball
And I'll get along the trail
I ain't got time for to talk to you now
'Cause I've got to carry the mail
The moon is light and your eyes are bright
And I'd love to tell you a tale
But I ain't got time for to talk to you now
'Cause I've got to carry the mail
The mail must go in the rain, in the snow
In the sunshine and the hail
I ain't got time for to talk to you now
'Cause I've got to carry the mail
So hold old Paint while I straddle old Ball
And I'll get along the trail
I ain't got time for to talk to you now
