Chris Smither - Dust My Broom Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Dust My Broom"
(originally by Elmore James)

Get up in the mornin'
Well, I believe I'll dust my broom
Get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Quit the best girl I been lovin'
My best friend can have my room

I believe
I believe my time ain't long
Well, I believe
I believe my time ain't long
You know, now you ain't doin' nothin' but
Drivin' a good man away from his home

I don't want no woman
She want every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman
She want every downtown man she meet
You know, it's a low-down disgrace
They oughtn't allow 'em on the street

I'm gonna write me a letter
I'm gonna telephone every town I know
Write me a letter
Telephone every town I know
You know, if she ain't in East St Louis, she'll be in East
Monroe, I know

I believe
I believe my time ain't long
Well, I believe
I believe my time ain't long
You know, now you ain't doin' nothin' but
Drivin' a good man away from his home

Get up in the mornin'
Well, I believe I'll dust my broom
Get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Quit the best girl I been lovin'
My best friend can have my room
