[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
