Lyrics

Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
I said now wake up mama, and turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby, to pop Uncle John from your door
Alright, yeah
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, and Grandma seemed to have them too
Darling, yeah
Well my mama died and left me, my papa 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 said she wanna go
And I sure will take her
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
Lord, I love that woman better than any woman I've ever seen
Now she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah
Treat me like a dog gone king
Ooh, wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
I said now wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby, to turn Uncle John from your door
