Dust My Broom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best gal I'm lovin'
Now, my friends can get my room
[Verse 2]
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 Mississippi
She due in Westminster, I know
[Verse 3]
And I don't want no woman
Want ev'ry downtown man she meets
No, I don't want no woman
Want ev'ry downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good doney
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah
[Verse 4]
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
