Lyrics:

Well, I’m her man for now, so I should know
That she goes wherever the mail goes
I can’t stop her wanderin’ to and fro
She goes wherever the mail goes

My friends seen her out as far as Indrio
She goes wherever the mail goes
Damn the rain, damn the sleet, damn the fog and damn the snow
She goes wherever the mail goes

If east is east or west is west
Man, I don’t care
If she keeps the devil busy
on the broad throughfare

Well, I’m her man for now, so I should know
That she goes wherever the mail goes
I can’t stop her wanderin’ to and fro
She goes wherever the mail goes

If east is east or west is west
Man, I don’t care
If she keeps the devil busy
on the broad throughfare

Well, I’m gona mail this song right back to me
And sit don here a’waitin’ on her sweet delivery
