Statesboro Blues

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
And she look like a dog gone queen
I'm somewhat sweet and kind
Well, I looked over the corner and Grandpa seemed to have them too

If you can't make it baby

Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
And I sure will take her
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
Well, my momma died and left me
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?

I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got no nerve baby to turn Uncle John from your door

I ain't good looking baby
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
My poppa died and left me
