Statesboro Blues

Wake up, baby, turn your lamp down low

Wake up, mammy, turn your lamp down low

Have you got no nerve to turn uncle john from your door?

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, I treat her like a dog gone queen

Well my momma died and left me

My poppa died and left me

I ain't good looking baby

Want someone sweet and kind

I woke up this morning, I had them statesboro blues

I woke up this morning, had them statesboro blues

Well, I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?

But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille said she wanna go

(And I sure will take her)

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
