Robert Johnson lyrics

I Believe I'll Dust My Broom blues lyrics

I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom.
I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom.
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room.
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know.
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know.
If I can't find her in West Helena (West Selma), she must be in East Monroe I know.
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet.
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet.
She's a no good phoney, they shouldn't 'low her on the street.
I believe, I believe I'll go back home.
I believe, I believe I'll go back home.
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home.
And I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom.
I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom.
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room.
I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there.
I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there.
'f I can't find her on Philippine's Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere
