Lyrics:

I'm gonna get up in the mornin',
I believe I'll dust my broom
I believe I'll dust my broom

Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin',
girlfriend, can get my roomI'm gon' write a letter,
Telephone every town I know
Telephone every town I know

If I can't find her in West Helena,
She must be in East Monroe, I knowI don't want no woman,
Wants every downtown man she meet
Wants every downtown man she meet

She's a no good doney,
They shouldn't 'low her on the streetI believe,
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home

You can mistreat me here, babe,
But you can't when I go homeAnd I'm gettin' up in the morning,
I believe I'll dust my broom
I believe I'll dust my broom

Girlfriend, the black man that you been lovin',
Girlfriend, can get my roomI'm gon' call up Chiney,
She is my good girl over there
She is my good girl over there

If I can't find her on Philippine's Island,
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere
