I Believe My Time Ain't Long

Careful, don't go too far

I Believe My Time Ain't Long, take one

Shh, hello, shut up

One, two, three, four

I'ma 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

I quit the best gal I'm lovin'

Now my friends can get my room

I'm gonna write a letter

Telephone every town I know

I'm gonna write a letter

Telephone every town I know

And if I don't find her in West Illinois

She'll be in East Monroe, I know

And 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

She's a no-good lil' darlin'

Shouldn't be allowed out on the street

Mhmm, man

I believe

I believe my time ain't long

I believe

I believe my time ain't long

I ain't gotta leave my baby

And break up my happy home

Mhmm
