Classic Poem

I'm goin' get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm goin' get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girl friend the black man you been loving,
girl friend; can get my room

I'm goin' to write a letter
telephone every town I know
I'm goin' to 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 meet
I don't want no woman
wants every downtown man she meet
She's no good domey
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
If you mistreat me here, baby,
but you can't when I go home

And I'm getting up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm getting up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girl friend the black man you been loving,
girl friend, can get my room

I'm goin' call up China
see is my good girl over there
I'm goin' call up China
see is my good girl over there
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island
she must be in Ethiopia some where
