(Robert Johnson)

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, that man you been lovin’, tell him he can have my room.

I’m gonna write a letter – telephone every town I know. [2x]
If she ain’t in West Helena – must be in East Monroe, I know.

I don’t want no woman – wants every downtown man she meets. [2x]
She’s a no good doney – they shouldn’t allow her out on the street.

I believe, – I believe I’ll go back home. [2x]
You can mistreat me here, babe – but you can’t when I am home.

I’m gonna call up China and see is my good girl over there. [2x]
If she ain’t in the Philippine Islands – – she must be in Ethiopia somewhere.

I believe, – I believe my time ain’t long. [2x]
You can mistreat me here, babe – but you can’t when I am gone.

And I’m gettin’ up in the mornin’ -I believe I’ll dust my broom. [2x]
Girlfriend, that man you been lovin’, tell him he can have my room.
