Wake up momma turn your lamp down low;

Wake up momma turn your lamp down low

You got no nerve baby to turn Uncle John from your door

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

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'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

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 yeah yeah yeah

I treat her like a doggone queen

Wake up momma turn your lamp down low

Wake up momma turn your lamp down low

You got no nerve baby to turn Uncle John from your door
