I'm goin' get up in the morning,
I believe I'll dust my broom
(2x)
Girl friend, the black man you been lovin',
girl friend, can get my room
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town
I know
(2x)
If I can't find her in West Helena, she must be in
East Munroe I know
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meets
(2x)
She's a no good dony, they shouldn't 'low her on the
streets
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
(2x)
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when
I go home
And I'm gettin' up in the morning,
I believe I'll dust my broom
(2x)
Girl friend, the black man you been lovin',
girl friend, can get my room
I'm gonna call up China, see is my good gal
over there
(2x)
I can't find her in the Philippine Islands, she must be
in Ethiopia somewhere
