Thank you my audiophile friend SPC John Williams for posting the music video of Finnish slide guitarist Erja Lyytinen playing her rendition of the Robert Leroy Johnson 'Dust my Broom' live in Bluesmoose café on March 2, 2016

"Dust My Broom" written by Robert Leroy Johnson
Lyrics
"I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' 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 meet
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney, they shouldn't 'low 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 go 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't get my room

I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
I'm 'on' call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere."

Here is a recording of the songwriter and Delta Blues Guitar Legend Robert Leroy Johnson performing "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom"
