I Believe I'll Dust My Broom

I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin'
Girlfriend, can get my room
I'm gonna write a letter
Telephone every town I know

I'm gonna 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 allow 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 get my room

I'm gonna call up Chiney
See is my good girl over there
I'm gonna call up China
See is my good girl over there
I can't find her on Philippine's island
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere
