Subject: DT Corr: MAIL MYSELF TO YOU (Woody Guthrie) From: beardedbruce Date: 29 Apr 05 - 09:28 PM (Woody Guthrie) CHORUS I'm a-gonna wrap myself in paper, I'm gonna daub myself with glue, Stick some stamps on top of my head; I'm gonna mail myself to you. I'm a gonna tie me up in a red string, I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too, I'm a-gonna climb up in my mail box; I'm gonna mail myself to you. CHORUS When you see me in your mail box, Cut the string and let me out; Wash the glue off my fingers, Stick some bubble gum in my mouth. CHORUS Take me out of my wrapping paper, Wash the stamps off my head; Pour me full of ice cream sodies, Put me in my nice warm bed. CHORUS Recorded by : John McCutcheon; Fred Penner; Earl Robinson; Pete Seeger; Wally Whyton.

Subject: RE: Mail Myself to You (Woody Guthrie) From: Felipa Date: 29 Jul 20 - 03:55 PM I read a newspaper article about the history of a slave who mailed himself to freedom, and subsequently lived as a performer re-telling the tale. I immediately thought of this song. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/12/28/slavery-cost-him-his-family-thats-when-henry-box-brown-mailed-himself-freedom/ |
