Billy Joe (B.J.) Thomas (1942) é un deses cantantes pop dos 60/70 dos que case todos coñecemos cancións, especialmente as súas famosas "Hooked On a Feeling", "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong", "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", pero eu desde logo sempre esquezo o seu nome.
Hoxe deixámosvos unha canción que conta unha historia desgraciada. Mozo coñece moza en Georgia. El apunta nun caderno vermello o número e dirección dela. Volven ás súas casas (ela a New Orleans e el a Boston), pero cando el quere contactar con ela dase conta de que perdeu os datos, entón escribe esta canción para o carteiro pedíndolle que lle traia carta dela.
Pobres carteiros, sempre no medio destas leas amorosas.
"Mr Mailman"
Mailman, Mailman
Have you any mail today
I've been waiting for a letter
I've tried to reach her every way
She's way down in New Orleans
And Boston's so far away
Funny how we met in Georgia
It had to be my lucky day
Well I had her name and number
Written down in my little red book
But when my plane flew in back home
It wasn't there when I took a look
Oh no
I know I searched for it everywhere
I wonder what shape my mind was in
But all I know I got to see her again
So mailman, mailman
Won't you help me sleep tonight
Won't you bring me just one letter
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright
Mr. Mailman
Mr. Mailman
Mr. Mailman
