I'm gonna get up in the morning

I believe I'll dust my broom

I'm gonna get up in the morning

I believe I'll dust my broom

Well my best gal I'll be leaving

So my friend get out my room

I'm gonna write a letter to China

See if my baby's over there

I'm gonna write a letter to China

See if my baby's over there

If she ain't up in the Hawaiian Islands

Must be in Ethiopia somewhere

I believe believe my time alone

Yes I believe believe my time alone

I've had to quit my baby

And give up my happy home
