I Believe My Time Ain't Long

Written by robert johnson.


I'm gettin' up soon in the morning
I believe i'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up soon in the morning
I believe i'll dust my broom
I quit the best gal i'm loving, ah
Now my friends can get in 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 her in mississippi
She'll be in east monroe i know

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
Man, she a no good darling
They'll shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah

Break:

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
