Dust My Broom
Morning's Decision: Dusting My Broom of Love's Regret
Lyrics
I'm a get up in the mornin'
I plan to wake up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I intend to leave or end a relationship ("dust my broom" symbolizes moving on)
I'm a get up in the mornin'
Reiteration of the plan to wake up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
Reiteration of the intention to leave or end a relationship
I quit the best girl I'm lovin'
I ended my relationship with the best girl I loved
Now my friends can get in my room
Now my friends can enter my personal space or life
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I will communicate extensively, reaching out to various places
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
Continuation of the plan to communicate widely
If I don't find her in ? (Matilda or West Hills, Lord) ?
If I can't find her in one place (Matilda or West Hills), she might be in East Monroe
She be in East Monroe I know
Speculation about the possible location of the person being sought
And I don't want no woman
Expressing a preference for a faithful woman
Want every downtown man she meets
Rejecting a woman who associates with many men in the downtown area
No I don't want no woman
Reiteration of the preference for a faithful woman
Want every downtown man she meets
Reiteration of rejecting a woman with multiple downtown associations
Man, she's a no good doney
Describing the woman as untrustworthy or unreliable
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah
Suggesting that she shouldn't be allowed in public due to her behavior
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
Expressing a belief that one's time is limited or running out
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
Reiteration of the belief that time is short
I ain't gonna leave my baby
Commitment to stay with one's baby and maintain a happy home
And break up my happy home
Rejecting the idea of leaving one's baby and disrupting a happy home
