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′ve been lovin'
Girlfriend, can 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
She must be in East Monroe, I know

I don′t want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets
I don′t want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets

She's a no good on me
They shouldn′t allow 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 get my room

I'm gon′ call up Chiney
She is my good girl over there
I'm gon' call up China
See is my good girl over there

I can′t find her on Phillipine′s island
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere
