Dust My Broom

(album: The Chess Box - 1991)

I'm getting up soon in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm getting up soon in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom

I quit the best girl I'm loving
Now my friends can get in my room

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 Mississippi
She be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets
No, I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets

Man, she's a no good
Honey
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

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
