I'm gonna get up in the morning

I believe I'll dust my broom.

I'm gonna get up in the morning

I believe I'll dust my broom.

Well my best gal I'll be leaving

So my friend, get out my room



I'm gonna write a letter to China

See if my baby's over there.

I'm gonna write a letter to China

See if my baby's over there.

If she ain't up in the Hawaiian Islands,

Must be in Ethiopia somewhere



I believe believe my time alone

I believe believe my time alone

I've had to quit my baby and give up my happy home
