Dust My Broom

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

I believe I'll dust my broom

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

I believe I'll dust my broom

I quit the best girl I'm lovin',

now my friends can get in my room

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

If I don't find her in Mississippi,

she be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman,

wants every downtown man she meets

No I don't want no woman,

wants 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 ain't gonna leave my baby,

and break up my happy home
