Dust My Broom

Originally written by Robert Johnson as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" and adapted by Elmore James. Some of the lyrics here were rewritten by Hound Dog Taylor.

Dust My Broom
(Elmore James)

I'm gettin' up early mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up early mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
The gal I love
But my friend can have my room

I'm calling up a China man
I'm gonna case my lover out 
I'm calling up a China boy   
I'm gonna call him up everywhere 
If she ain't in Ethiopia
Then she must have been in Georiga somewhere 

I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I believe, I believe my time ain't long
I'm gonna leave my babe
And break up my happy home
