Handsome John Lyrics

I DIDN'T KNOW HIM AS WELL AS I TELL EVERYONE I DID
HELL HE WAS NEARLY FIFTY AND I WAS ONLY A KID
BUT EVEN WAY BACK IN THOSE MISSING YEARS
WHEN HE WAS STILL JUST CATCHING ON
THERE WAS NOBODY BETTER THAN HANDSOME JOHN

OH BOY, TALK ABOUT YOUR REAL MCCOY
HERE COMES THE SINGING MAILMAN
FROM MAYWOOD, ILLINOIS, OH BOY

THE NEXT TIME I SAW HIM HE WALKED OFF TO PARADISE
IN A WAY THAT I WOULD SAY THAT I STILL TAKE FOR ADVICE
FOR WITH A PLAIN SPOKEN WORD AND A SIMPLE MELODY
YOU CAN SEE THIS WORLD WITH DIGNITY

OH BOY, TALK ABOUT YOUR REAL MCCOY
HERE COMES THE SINGING MAILMAN
FROM MAYWOOD, ILLINOIS, OH BOY

THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE DANCED OFF TO LAKE MARIE
WHEN I REALIZED I WAS CRYING OUT IN TEARS OF VICTORY
FOR WITH A FEW STILL MISSING AND A NEW ONE COMING ON
THERE WAS NOBODY BETTER THAN HANDSOME JOHN

OH BOY, TALK ABOUT YOUR REAL MCCOY
HERE COMES THE SINGING MAILMAN
FROM MAYWOOD, ILLINOIS, OH BOY
