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
Girlfriend, the black man you been loving,
girlfriend, can get my room
I'm gong write a letter,
Telephone every town I know
I'm gong write a letter,
Telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in Mississippi
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
meet a no good doney,
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
