I'm gonna get up in the mornin' I believe I'll dust my broom I'm gonna get up in the mornin' I believe I'll dust my broom Out with the best gal I'm lovin' Now my friends can get out my room I don't want no woman I don't want every downtown man she meets I don't want no woman Want every downtown man she meets Man she's a no good dooney They shouldn't allow her on the street I'm gonna write a letter Telephone every town I know I'm gonna write a letter Telephone every town I know If I don't find her in West Helena She be in East Monroe in white home I believe, I believe my time ain't long I believe, I believe my time ain't long I ain't gonna leave my baby And break up my happy home
