Dust My Broom

(album: Todd Rundgren's Johnson - 2011)

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

I'm gon' write a letter
Telephone every town I know
I'm gon' 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 a no good doney
They shouldn't 'low her on the street

I believe
I believe I'll go back home
I believe
I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me here, babe
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
Girlfriend, can get my room

I'm 'on' call up Chiney
See is my good girl over there
I'm gon' call up China
See is my good girl over there
'F I can't find her on Phillipine's Island
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere
