If you're talking about the Elmore James variation of the classic "Dust My Broom", I've got a recording of it I'll listen to and type in the words. Elmore did both versions and a few other variations besides - he practically made a career out of this song.

Here are the Elmore James lyrics:

Dust My Blues
(Elmore James)

I'm gonna get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my blues (2x)
I gotta leave my baby, I ain't got no time to lose.

I don't want no woman, that'll treat me wrong all the time (2x)
Well I'm tired of the way she treat me, 'cause I'm 'bout to lose my mind.

I'm 'na write a letter, I'm gonna send a telegram
I'm 'na write a letter, I'm gonna send her a telegram
She left me soon this mornin', and she got me in an awful jam.

I believe, I believe my time ain't (long) (2x)
I gotta leave my baby, I've gotta leave my happy home.


Sorry this took so long, I was gone to Scout Camp
