I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Out with the best gal I'm lovin'
Now my friends can get out my room

I don't want no woman
I don't want every downtown man she meets
I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meets
Man she's a no good dooney
They shouldn't allow her on the street

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 Wеst Helena
She bе in East Monroe in white home

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
