Lyrics
Okay, the Allman Brothers Band
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 papa down from your door
I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
But I turned in the corner, baby, your grandma seemed to have them too
Oh
Well, my mama died and left me
My papa died and left me
I ain't good-looking, baby
I'm somewhat sweet and kind
I'm on to the concert, baby, do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it, baby, your sister Lucille certainly wanna go
And I sure will take her
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, she treat me like a king, yeah
She look like a dog gone queen
Yeah, 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
