Statesboro Blues

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

You got no love babe, 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 somewhere I'm sweet and kind

 

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

If you can't make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go

(and I sure will take her).

 

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

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

She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen.
