Wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
Come on, wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve to drive
Papa Taj from your door?
Well, I woke up this mornin', baby
With them Statesboro blues
Statesboro, Georgia
Woke up this mornin', baby
With them Statesboro blues
Well, I looked over in the corner
Grandma, grandpa had 'em too
Well, mama's died and left me reckless
Papa died and left me wild
Ain't good lookin', baby, but you know I'm
Someone with inner charm
I'm goin' to the country, baby, do you wanna
Go? Do you want to go, baby?
If I can't take you, sweet mama
I believe I'll take three, four more
ย
Oh, my mama died and left me
Papa died and left me
I ain't good lookin', baby and
I'm someone's sweetest child
Goin' to the country, baby do you want to go?
If you can't make it, darlin'
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
I'll damn sure take her there
ย
I love that woman
Better than any woman I've ever seen
Said, I love that woman
Better than any woman I've ever seen
Lord, she treat me like a king
An' I treat her like a doggone queen
Wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
Wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve, darlin'
To turn Uncle John from your door
