Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
I said now, wake up momma, a-turn your lamp down low
Well you got no nerve baby, your pappa was down from your door
Yeah alright
I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
I said I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues, so bad
I looked over in the corner baby, your grandma seemed to have them too
Ya yeah, oh yeah

My poppa died and left me
I ain't good looking baby
But I'm somewhat sweet and kind
I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go? Oh yeah
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille
She said she wanna go and I sure will take her, yeah babe

I said now wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve babe, to turn Uncle John from your door
