Dust My Broom - Long Version

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

Believe I'll dust my broom

Gettin' up soon in the mornin'

Believe I'll dust my broom

Quit the best girl I been lovin'

And my friends can have my room

I don't want no woman

What every downtown man can see

I don't want no woman

What every downtown man can see

She ain't nothin' but a no-good phony

She's a lousy woman on the street

I'ma write a letter

Telephone every town I know

I'ma write a letter

Telephone every town I know

If she ain't down in Tchula, Mississippi

She's in East Monroe, Arkansas, no

Oh, tell me, baby

Honey, what has been wrong with you?

Tell me, baby

Oh, mama, what has been wrong with you?

Well, I know you just don't treat poor papa

Like you used to do

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

Believe I'll dust my broom

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

Believe I'll dust my broom

Quit the best girl I been lovin'

Man, my friends can have my room

I'ma send a letter to China

See if my baby's over there

I'ma send a letter to China

See if my baby's over there

Well, if she ain't over there in China

Down in Ethiopia somewhere

I believe

I believe I'll dust my broom

I believe

I believe I'll dust my broom

Lost the best girl I been lovin'

And my friends can have my room
