Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
I ain't good looking baby
And she look like a dog gone queen
I'm somewhat sweet and kind
You got no nerve baby to turn Uncle John from your door
If you can't make it baby
My poppa died and left me
I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
Well, I looked over the corner and Grandpa seemed to have them too
Well, my momma died and left me
I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
And I sure will take her
