Night Mail |
| Alright boys, stand clear |
| 8:30 pm, Weekdays and Sundays |
| The down Postal Special leaves Euston for Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen |
| The Postal Special is a fast express, but it carries no passengers |
| Half a million letters are sorted and picked up or dropped during the night |
| This is the Night Mail crossing the border |
| Bringing the cheque and the postal order |
| Letters for the rich, letters for the poor |
| The shop at the corner and the girl next door |
| Five hundred million letters every year |
| Trains from Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Stoke, Liverpool and Birmingham bring |
| a thousand bags of mail to the north |
| This is the Night Mail crossing the border |
| Bringing the cheque and the postal order |
| Letters for the rich, letters for the poor |
| The shop at the corner and the girl next door |
| Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb |
| The gradient’s against her, but she’s on time |
| This is the Night Mail crossing the border |
| Bringing the cheque and the postal order |
| Letters for the rich, letters for the poor |
| The shop at the corner and the girl next door |
| Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb |
| The gradient’s against her, but she’s on time |
| Past cotton-grass and moorland boulder |
| Shovelling white steam over her shoulder |
| Snorting noisily as she passes |
| Silent miles of wind-bent grasses |
| Birds turn their heads as she approaches |
| Stare from the bushes at her blank-faced coaches |
| This is the Night Mail crossing the border |
| Bringing the cheque and the postal order |
| Letters for the rich, letters for the poor |
| The shop at the corner and the girl next door |
| Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb |
| The gradient’s against her, but she’s on time |
| She’s on time |
| She’s on time |
