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

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

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

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

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
