I Believe I'll Dust My Broom

from Love Letters to Robert by Josh Leep

about

No one likes a partner that runs around being unfaithful to you with this, that, and the other person. We've all been there. This song is one close to my heart for that reason.

I did change one of the lyrics from "black man" to "bad man" just so there wouldn't be any potential unnecessary backlash.

lyrics

I’m gointa get up in the mornin
I believe I’ll dust my broom
I’m gointa get up in the mornin
I believe I’ll dust my broom
Girlfriend the bad man you’ve been lovin
girlfriend can get my room

I’m gonna write a letter
telephone everytown I know
I’m gonna write a letter
telephone every town I know
If I can’t find her in West Helena
she must be in East Monroe I know

I don’t want no woman
wants every downtown man she meets
I don’t want no woman
wants every downtown man she meets
She’s a no good dooney
they shouldn’t allow her on the street

I believe, I believe I’ll go back home
I believe, I believe I’ll go back home
You can mistreat me here babe,
but you can’t when I’m back home

And I’m gettin up in the mornin
I believe I’ll dust my broom
I’m gettin up in the mornin
I believe I’ll dust my broom
Girlfriend the bad man you been lovin
girlfriend can get my room

I’m gonna call up Chiney
see is my good girl over there
I’m gonna call up China
see is my good girl over there
I can’t find her on Phillipine’s island
she must be in Ethiopia somewhere
