[Verse 1]
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
Girlfriend that man you've been lovin'
I don't want him in my room

[Verse 2]
I don't want no woman
Chases every downtown man she meets
I don't want no woman
Chases every downtown man she meets
She's a no good mistreater
They shouldn't allow her on the streets

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
I believe, I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me when I'm here babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh you can mistreat me when I'm here babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh you can mistreat me when I'm here babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh mean mistreater now I'm gone
