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