Lyrics Mailbox Money - Jimmy Buffett
Sweet
water
hidden
river
Flows
right
by
my
place
Life
is
slow,
fishin's
good
That's
how
I
spend
my
days
I've
got
a
sun-browned
local
lady
She
hails
from
Bon
Secour
She
makes
the
best
fried
shrimp
and
collard
greens
Cold
Rosé
is
her
pour
By
now,
you
must
be
wonderin'
how
I
earn
my
pay
I
write
words
and
music,
fact
I
write
them
every
day
Mailbox
money
Been
so
good
to
me
When
my
ship
comes
sailin'
in,
I
feel
like
royalty
That
old
song
just
keeps
playin'
from
sea
to
shinin'
sea
That
mailbox
money's
sure
been
good
to
me
The
postman
starts
his
outboard
'Cause
we
get
our
mail
by
boat
That
song
I
penned
in
'81
still
keeps
our
world
afloat
If
it
wasn't
for
the
radio
and
those
Parrot-headed
fans
I'd
have
to
get
a
day
gig,
which
would
surely
spoil
my
plans
Mailboat
money
Been
so
good
to
me
When
my
ship
comes
sailin'
in,
I
feel
like
royalty
They
still
hum
that
melody
from
France
to
Newfoundland
Mailbox
money
made
me
what
I
am
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
Now
the
postman,
he
retired
two
or
three
years
back
Now
he
fishes
every
day,
and
I
take
up
the
slack
I
load
that
15-foot
Pirogue
US
mailboat
down
Jump
start
my
Johnson
and
spread
the
love
around
Junk
mail,
bills,
and
birthday
cards
on
the
last
boat
that
remains
I'm
a
one-man
crew,
but
I
still
get
through
those
floods
and
hurricanes
Mailboat
money
Down
in
LA,
that's
how
our
mail
arrives
Drop
us
a
line
at
zip
code
36555
I
love
that
mailbox
money
from
sea
to
shinin'
sea
Nothing
else
comes
close
to
stackin'
up
'Cept
the
Full
Moon
Jubilee
Giggin'
big
fat
flounders
with
Jimbo
at
slack
tide
Mailbox
money
sure
seems
bonafide
That
old
song
just
keeps
playin'
from
sea
to
shinin'
sea
Mailbox
money,
sure
been
good
to
me
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
Just
keeps
comin'
in
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
What
a
boat
ride
this
has
been
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
Whole
lotta
jingle
in
that
single
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
Ching
(Put
it
in
the
mailbox)
Ooh,
well
maybe
we'll
go
look
at
a
new
Johnson
Maybe
get
a
new
guitar
I'm
gon'
be
a
star
