Sitting by the window feeling sad and blue
All because I haven't heard from you
And then my momma said Look, look, here comes the postman
A-twistin down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you
He's got the mail sack a-twistin round his back
Cause he's a twistin postman
A-hes a-twistin to the left, twistin to the right
Twistin all around and round
If he didn't bring a letter
To make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin heart of mine
Cause he's a twistin postman
He's got the mail sack a-twistin round his back
Cause he's a twistin postman
A-hes a twistin to the left, twistin to the right
Twistin all around and round
If he didn't bring a letter
To make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin heart of mine
Cause he's a twistin postman
Look, look here comes the mailman
A-twistin down the avenue
