Special deliver man, special deliver man, please take this letter down to Brownville for me
Special deliver man, special deliver man, please take this letter down to Brownville, for me
Now that you can tell Miss Cornelius, I'm up here in Chicago, oh, but I'm just as blue as I can be
Special deliver man, she may not be at home, not that you need to worry about knockin' on her door
Special deliver man, she may not be home, not that you need to worry about knockin' on her door
Now if you could just take it back to the office, because Miss Cornelia, goes to school, you know
Now give me 9-0-9, I want to use your line awhile
Now, give me 9-0-9, Lord, I want to use your line awhile
Now that I want to talk with Miss Cornelia, boy, because she just my little angel child
Now special deliver man, after you've done what I told, Lord, then I want you to ride away
Special deliver man, after you've done what I told you, Lord, then I want you to ride away
Now, that's the reason you hear me sing the blues, about my little Cornelia, boy n' it's everyday
