Dust My Broom
Morning Blues: Dusting My Broom of Love
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 am considering leaving or ending a relationship ("dust my broom" symbolizes leaving).
I'm a get up in the mornin'
I plan to wake up in the morning (repeated).
I believe I'll dust my broom
I am considering leaving or ending a relationship (repeated).
I quit the best girl I'm lovin'
I have parted ways with the woman I loved.
Now my friends can get in my room
My friends are now welcome in my space since I am no longer committed.
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I intend to write letters and make calls to find my lost love.
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I will reach out to various towns in my search for her.
If I don't find her in ? (Matilda or West Hills, Lord) ?
If I can't find her in one place, perhaps she is in another (Matilda or West Hills are uncertain references).
She be in East Monroe I know
I believe she might be in East Monroe.
And I don't want no woman
I do not want a woman who is involved with many men.
Want every downtown man she meets
Reiteration of not wanting a woman who associates with every man she meets.
No I don't want no woman
I do not desire a woman who is promiscuous.
Want every downtown man she meets
Reiteration of not wanting a woman who is involved with every man she meets.
Man, she's a no good doney
The woman is described as unreliable and not worthy of trust.
They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah
A strong disapproval of the woman's behavior, suggesting she shouldn't be allowed in public.
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I feel that my time on earth is limited or running out.
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
A repetition of the belief that time is short.
I ain't gonna leave my baby
I am not willing to leave my current partner or disrupt my happy home.
And break up my happy home
A commitment to stay with the current partner and maintain a content home life.
