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

So many of em copied Old Elmore James. Pale imitations, to be sure


True. This is a standard intro to blues for guitarists I think. But Elmore was a genius. His singing is close to a scream and he goes from ripping out his soul to a sly wink in a flash. And man that gitar...

Of the three songs I revere the most this one is one.

Sure enough, I wouldn't even know this song if there had not been that brilliant ZZ Top cover. 
But since this is the original I just had to uprate from 9 to 10. 
Sure enough, Frank, Bill and Dusty will/would have agreed.

Just as some hear every reggae track to be the same one repeated endlessly, that's the blues for me.  It's just same phrasing and tone over and over.  I just don't get the appeal, even one little bit...

That mesmerizing guitar-phrasing and soulful singing make this one of the most immortal rock-n-roll standards ever recorded! Love it! Never gets old!

"Dust my Broom"..... heh. This is an Old Man Joke observation but it's funny how you can make almost any household task sound sexually evocative: "I'd like to mow HER lawn.... I'd like to rearrange HER kitchen...  I'd love to butter her bread... I'd love to mop HER floor...."  Think of how tidy her house would be if this were taken literally.

It's a great song, but what does "dust my broom" actually mean?  This is the best definition I found:

Singer, Son Thomas said, “It was an old field holler to tell everyone, except the people the hollerer didn’t want to tell, that he was running away.”

There was a great two-disc set that came out almost 20 years ago: "King of the Slide Guitar." I think it had all of Elmore's recordings for the Fire, Fury and Enjoy music labels. You can buy it used on Amazon.

The set includes the best version of my all-time favorite Elmore song, "Stranger Blues." Also found on "The Sky is Crying" album—last song on the disc but it rocks. 

And yes, Elmore could really sing.

Elmore and Wilson Pickett and occasionally James Brown had a screaming quality to their voice; with EJ, it's almost as if he's tearing some strange fabric while he sings. One of my fave bluesmen.

Robert Johnson recorded "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" in 1937. Elmore James' version from 1951 is one of the most influential. For many years I only knew the Taj Mahal version on Oooh So Good 'n Blues (1973), which I now see was the second time he recorded this song.

The Wikipedia article is well done and provides a lot of information:

Dust My Broom: To break up with a lover or to start a new life by cleaning out the old; also the title of a blues standard, recorded by Robert Johnson as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom." The song would later be recorded by noted blues guitarist Elmore James and became an R&B hit in 1952.
