Lyrics

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

I plan to wake up early in the morning

I believe I'll

I think I'll

Dust my broom

Cleanse or rid myself of negative things

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'

I plan to wake up early in the morning

I believe I'll dust my broom

I think I'll cleanse or rid myself of negative things

I quit the best girl I'm lovin'

I've ended my relationship with the best girl I love

Now my friends can get in my room

Now my friends can enter my personal space

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

I'll communicate widely through letters and calls

I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

-

If I don't find her in Mississippi

If I can't find her in Mississippi

She be in East Monroe, I know

She'll likely be in East Monroe

And I don't want no woman

I don't want a woman who pursues many men

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

She's a dishonest and unreliable woman

Doney

Refers to someone named Doney

They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

She shouldn't be allowed in public, implying disapproval of her behavior

I believe, I believe my time ain't long

I feel that my time alive is limited

I believe, I believe my time ain't long

-

I ain't gonna leave my baby

I won't leave my significant other and disrupt my happy home

And break up my happy home
