Lyrics »

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 I'm lovin' Now my friends can get in my room 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 be in East Monroe I know I don't want no woman Who wants every downtown man she meets I don't want no woman Who wants every downtown man she meets Man cause no good darlin' They shouldn't lie her on the street yeah 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
