Mailman Blues Lyrics

Sleepy John Estes Mailman Blues

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
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 guess he must have had car trouble : or either the
road must be blocked

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
