Dust My Broom Lyrics

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
Boyfriend, the girl that you been lovin',
She can have my room
I'm gonna write me a letter, I'm gonna telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write me a letter, I'm gonna telephone every town I know
Well, if he ain't in West Helena
He must be in East Monroe

I don't want no man
Who wants every downtown girl he sees
I don't want no man
Who wants every downtown girl he sees
Well, he's a no good darlin'
They shouldn't lie him on the street yeah
I believe, I believe that I'll go back home
I believe, I believe that I'll go back home
You can mistreat me in New York City
But you can't mistreat me when I go home
I'm gonna call over to China,
And see if my good man's over there
Yes, I'm gonna call over to China,
To see if my good man's over there
Well, if he ain't on Philippine's Islands,
He must be in Ethiopia somewhere
