I Believe I'll Dust My Broom

I'm goin' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom

I'm goin' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom

Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can get my roomI'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 knowI 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 honey, they shouldn't allow her on the streetI 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 homeAnd 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 roomI'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

'F I can't find her on Philippine's island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere
