Dust My Broom

I'm gon' get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you
Been lovin', girlfriend, Can't get my room

I'm gon' write a letter
Telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter
Telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in west helena
She must be in east monroe I know

I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney
They shouldn't 'low her on the street
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me here, babe
But you can't when I go home

And I'm gettin' up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you
Been lovin', girlfriend, Can't get my room

I'm 'on' call up chiney
See is my good gal over there
I'm 'on' call up chiney
See is my good gal over there
If I can't find her on philippine's island
She must be in ethiopia somewhere
