I'm Expectin' A Special Deliv'ry 1901

You've heard about the coon
who telegraphed his babe,
an' she done seen no messenger boy,
but I've no troubles of my own,
my tale is one of joy,
I called on my gal one day last year,
she showed me to a seat;
I asked her for to be my own,
she looked so nice and neat,
she said: "Goodnight, my heart's delight
just wait a short time and I will write:"

So I was expectin' a special deliv'ry
that ought to have reach'd me soon
expectin' a special deliv'ry,
to make me a happy coon,
I wanted no telephone ring up,
for me no news, by wire.
But a messenger in liv'ry
with a special deliv'ry
would a been my heart's desire.

So I was expectin' a special deliv'ry
that ought to have reach'd me soon
expectin' a special deliv'ry,
to make me a happy coon,
I wanted no telephone ring up,
for me no news, by wire.
But a messenger in liv'ry
with a special deliv'ry
would a been my heart's desire.

I read that letter quick
and I went down to the house,
for my heart was a thumpin'; in my breast,
says she: "I'm yours my honey boy,
I loves you much the best;
we went to de parsons de very next day,
he made us man and wife,
spent our honey moon in an automobile,
and settled down for life;
we're wed a year, no son and heir
has blessed our home but we don't moan.

For I am expectin' a special deliv'ry
and it ought to reach me soon,
expectin' a special deliv'ry,
to make me a happy coon.
Now I want no telephone ring up,
for me no news, by wire,
but a little picaninnie
born and bred in ole Virginia
would a be my heart's desire.

For I am expectin' a special deliv'ry
and it ought to reach me soon,
expectin' a special deliv'ry,
to make me a happy coon.
Now I want no telephone ring up,
for me no news, by wire,
but a little picaninnie
born and bred in ole Virginia
would a be my heart's desire.
