It's a sin an a shame
Doll, anyway you treat po' me
Yes, it's a sin an a shame
Lord, the way you treat po' me
You know well, that I love you
And I really wouldn't mistreat, thee

So, I'm 'onna get up in the mo'nin
An I swear I'm gonna dust my broom
Yes, I'll get up in the mo'nin
An I swear I'm gonna dust my broom
I'm quittin' the best gal I'm lovin'
So my friends can get my room

I believe, I believe
I believe my time ain't long
Yes, I believe
I believe my time ain't long
I got to leave my baby
Break up my happy home

'Yeah man, play the blues for me'

(instrumental)

Yes, I'll get up in the mo'nin
Lord, I'm gon' dust my broom
I'm 'onna get up in the mo'nin
Am I really gonna dust my broom
I'm quittin' the best gal I'm lovin'
So, my friends can get my room
