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

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

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
