[Verse] I'm going to get up in the morning I believe I'll dust my broom I'm going to get up in the morning I believe I'll dust my broom Well my best girl, I'll be loving So my friend, get out my room I'm going to write a letter to China See if my baby's over there I'm going to write a letter to China
See if my baby's over there If she ain't up in the Hawaiian islands Must be in Ethiopia somewhere [Outro] I believe, believe my time alone Yes, I believe, believe my time alone I've had to quit my baby And give up my happy home
