I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girl, that man that you've been lovin'
I don't want him in my room
I don't want no woman chases
Every downtown man she meets
I don't want no woman chases
Every downtown man she meets
She's a no good mistreater
Shouldn't 'low her on the street
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe, I'll go back home
You can mistreat me when I'm here, babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh, you can mistreat me when I'm here, babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh, you can mistreat me when I'm here, babe
You can't when I am gone
Oh, I've been mistreated now I am gone
