Open A, Shuffle beat

———————————-

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

The black man you been lovin’,

Friend, 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 don’t find her in West Helena,

She’ll be in East Monroe

———————————-

And I don’t want no woman,

want every downtown man she meets

No I don’t want no woman,

want every downtown man she meets

Man, she’s a no good doney,

they shouldn’t allow her on the street, yeah

———————————-

I believe, I believe my time ain’t long

I believe, I believe my time ain’t long

I ain’t gonna leave my baby,

and break up my happy home

———————————-

I’m gon’ call up Chiney, she is my good girl over there

I’m gon’ call up Chiney, she is my good girl over there

If I can’t find her on Philippine’s Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere

———————————-

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 morning, I believe I’ll dust my broom (2x)
