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
