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 but you need to worry about knockin' on her door Special deliver man, she may not be home Not but you need to worry about knockin' on her door Now but you could just take it back to the office Beause Miss Cornelia goes to school, you know
Now give me, 9-0-9 I want to use your line a while Now, give me, 9-0-9 Lord, I want to use your line a while Now that I want to talk with Miss Cornelia Burns 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've told you Lord, an I want you to ride away Now, that's the reason you hear me sing the blues About my little Cornelia Burns, ev'ryday.
