Special Delivery - Odetta

My man

Packed his trunks

Said I'm goin' away

Packed his trunks and

Said I'm goin' away

And I won't be back

Until ya change your funny ways

He said I'm leavin'

Almost breaks my heart

Honey I'm leavin'

Almost breaks my heart

But remember sometime

The best of friends must part

He said I'll write you

Soon's I find the time

Honey I'll write you

Soon's I find the time

He's been gone so long

I guess he just couldn't spare the time

Run to my window

Train go rollin' by

Run to my window

Train go rollin' by

I got the blues so bad

That I could lay me down and die

Now hey

Hey mister mailman

I did ya bring me any news

Hey mister mailman

Bring me any news

Well if I didn't get a letter

I got these

Special delivery blues
