Song Of The Barefoot Mailman Lyrics

Okie, Okie

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

[CHORUS]

Singing Okie, Okiechobee

Seminole, Seminole Sam, Sam

Okiechobee, Seminole, Seminole

Song of the barefoot mailman

(Song of the barefoot mailman)

They tell tall tales down Florida land

About a famous barefoot man

He walked by night and he walked by day

Carrying the mail for the USA

From Palm Beach down to Miami

He walked beside the lonely sea

O'er sand packed hard by the pounding tide

Gun in hand and pouch by his side

(Gun in hand and pouch by his side)

[Repeat CHORUS]

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

He trudged the dunes and mangrove swamps

Where pirates hid and the gators rompedBilly Leach - Song Of The Barefoot Mailman - http://motolyrics.com/billy-leach/song-of-the-barefoot-mailman-lyrics.html

Sharks and barricudas swam

Lying in wait for the barefoot man

One gator wise and fierce and bold

Tried to swallow the mailman whole

He fought the gator, mad as could be

And rode on his back to Miami

(Rode on his back to Miami)

[Repeat CHORUS]

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

A band of savage Indian Scouts

Ambushed the mailman along his route

He stood outnumbered six to one

Only three bullets in his gun

He dodged them arrows and fired fast

Got two at a time with every blast

All six face down on the coral sand

Trying to stop that government man

(Trying to stop that government man)

[Repeat CHORUS]

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom

Okiechobee, Okiechobee

Alachy boom...
