Statesboro Blues

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.

You got no nerve baby, to turn Uncle John from your door.

I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues.

I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues.

I looked over in the corner, and Grandpa seemed to have them too.

Well my momma died and left me.

My poppa died and left me.

I ain't good lookin' baby, but I'm someone sweet and kind.

I am going to the country baby do you want to go?

If you can't make it baby your sister Lucille said she wants to go.

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen.

Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen.

Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah

And she look like a dog gone queen

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.

You got no nerve babe, to turn Uncle John from your door,
