Well, wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said, "Wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low"
Well, you ain't got no reason
Turn uncle Johns from your door

Woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
Woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I looked over in the corner
Grandpa seemed to have them too

My mama died and left me
My papa died and left me
I ain't good lookin' baby
I sure could treat you fine

Goin' to the country
Mama, do you want to go?
Oh, if you don't make it baby
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
Ah, and I sure could take her

Love that little woman
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
Said I love that little woman
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
She treats me like a king
Treat her like a doggone queen

Well, I woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I said, I woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I looked over in the corner
Grandpa seemed to have them too

So wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said, "Wake up mama
Turn your lamp down low"
Ah, you ain't got no reason
Drive uncle Johns from your door
