I'm goin' get up in the morning,
I believe I'll dust my broom
X 2
Girl friend, the black man you been lovin',
Girl friend, can get my room
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town
I know
X 2
If I can't find her in West Helena, she must be in
East Munroe I know
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meets
X 2
She's a no good dony, they shouldn't 'low her on the streets
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
X 2
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when
I go home
And I'm gettin' up in the morning,
I believe I'll dust my broom
X 2
Girl friend, the black man you been lovin',
Girl friend, can get my room
I'm gonna call up China, see is my good gal
Over there
X 2
I can't find her in the Philippine Islands, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere
