I Believe My Time Ain't Long

I woke up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I quit the best gal I'm loving
Now my friends can get 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 the whistle and all
She'll be in East Monroe I know

And I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meet
No, I don't want no woman
Want every downtown man she meet
She's a no-good lil' darling
Shouldn't be allowed out on the street

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
