I wanna get up in the mornin'
Believe I'll dust my broom
Yeah, I'll get up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Well, I'll kick the best girl I'm lovin'
So my parents can have my room
I'm gon' write me a letter
Telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write me a letter
Telephone every town I know
If I don't find her in Mississippi
She's in East Monroe, I know, yeah
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
Oh, I now she's a no good doney
They shouldn't allow her on the street, no
Yeah, I believe
I believe my time ain't low
Whoa, I believe
Believe my time ain't low
I'm wanna leave my baby
And break up my heavy heart
