Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the audio recording of Robert Johnson performing 'I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" in recognition of the fact that on August 16, 1938, Delta-blues singer and guitarist Robert Leroy Johnson died at the age of 27.

'I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" written by Robert Leroy Johnson
Lyrics
"I'm gointa get up in the mornin
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gointa get up in the mornin
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend the black man you've been lovin
Girlfriend 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
If I can't find her in West Helena
She must be in East Monroe I know

I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets
I don't want no woman
Wants every downtown man she meets
She's a no good dooney
They shouldn't allow her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me here babe,
But you can't when I'm back home

And I'm gettin up in the mornin
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin up in the mornin
I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend the black man you been lovin
Girlfriend can get my room

I'm gonna call up Chiney
See is my good girl over there
I'm gonna call up China
See is my good girl over there
I can't find her on Phillipine's island
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere."

In honor of the memory of Robert Leroy Johnson, here are a few music videos
