There's a story I must tell,
C
D
it's one I know so well,
About a famous hero
A

of the Never -Never Trail.
G
Henry Peckham was his name,
C

A mailman of great fame,
They called him the Fizzer,
G
D
Am
G
Who died to save the mail.
D
G
I recall that tragic day,
C
D
When the Fizzer rode away,
On a journey filled with
A
D
danger we all knew,
G
And too well did we know
C
D
that a woman's life might go
If that gallant little mailman
G
failed to get that message through.
D
G

Save the mail!
G
Save the mail!
C
That ringing cries
Am

till it goes down the trail.

Oh, it's many years ago,
C

may all Australians know,
How the brave Henry Peckham
G
D
G
gave his life to save the mail.
D
G
How the river was in flood,
C
D
how it chewed the mailman's blood,
A
When he faced that mighty torrent
D
deep and wide.
G
But his gallant heart so true,
C
D
Meant to get that message through,
And he plunged his faithful bodee,
G
D
G
Into the surging tide.
But the river, it was strong,
And it swept the mailman on,
After all he'd suffered, must he fail,
As he fought the surging tide
D
To his native boy he cried,
D
Save the mail, save the mail,
D
G
C
Am
save the mail!
D
G

G
Save the mail, save the mail
C

That ringing cry still echoes
A

down the trail,
G
Though it's many, many years ago,
C

May all Australians know,
How the brave Henry Peckham
G
Gave his life to save the male.
