My Little Cornelius - Big Joe Williams, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

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
