Statesboro Blues

Well, wake up, mama

Turn your lamp down low

Yeah, wake up mama, mama

Turn your lamp down low, low

Yes, you got no nerve now, mama

Not to drive me from your door

'Cause my mama died and left me with this

My papa died and left me wild, oh

Yeah, my mama died and left me with this

Papa died and left me wild, wild

Oh, yes

You know I ain’t good looking but I'm some sweet

Woman's angel-child, child

Well, alright now!

Goin’ up the country, mama, would you like to go?

Goin’ up the country, mama, would you like to go?

I'm gonna take my baby, now, I might take 2 or 3 more

'Cause I got 'em

You got 'em

Mama's got 'em, papa's got 'em

Sister's got 'em, brother's got 'em

Now, I woke up this morning, did not know what to do

I looked over in the corner

Grandma and grandpa's got 'em too

Well alright, alright!

I got the statesboro blues

I got the statesboro blues

I got the statesboro blues

I got the statesboro blues

Lord, I got them statesboro blues, yeah
