Special Delivery Blues - Odetta
My man packed his trunks
Said 'I'm a-goin' away '
Packed his trunks and said
'I'm goin' away
And I won't be back until ya
Change your funny ways '
And 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 dime
And 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 '
And I run run to my window
Train go rollin' by
Run to window train go rollin' by
I got the blues so bad
That I could lay me down and die
Now hey hey mister mailman
Did ya bring me any news
Hey mister mailman
Bring me any news
Well if I didn't get a letter
I got the special delivery blues
