Statesboro Blues

Yes, now, wake up, mama

Turn your lamp down low

Wake up, mama

Turn your lamp down low

Have you got the nerve

To drive poor papa Taj from your door?

Woke up this mornin', baby

I had them Statesboro blues

Statesboro, Georgia, that is

Woke up this mornin'

Had them Statesboro blues

Looked over in the corner

Grandpa and Grandma had 'em too

Mama died and left me reckless

Papa died and left me wild

I ain't good-lookin, baby

But I'm someone's sweet angel-child

Goin' to the country

Baby, do you wanna go?

I know if you can't make it

Your sister Lucille said she wanna go

You know I love that woman better than

Any one I ever seen

Yes, I love that woman

Better than any woman I ever seen

She treat me like a king, I treat her like she

She was a doggone queen

Wake up, mama

Turn your lamp down low

Wake up, mama

Turn your lamp down low

Have you got the nerve

Drive papa Taj from you door
