(based on Robert Johnson's "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom")
recording of November 1959, Chicago
from

The Sky Is Crying (Charly Records CD BM 12)
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 girl 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
And I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
No I don't want no woman,
wants every downtown man she meets
Man, she's a no good
doney
they shouldn't allow 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
Here is the table of contents.
