Statesboro Blues (Album Version)
Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve to hide (drive) Willie McTell from your door?
You know I woke up in the mornin, now, I had them Statesboro Blues
I woke up this morning now, I had them Statesboro Blues
I looked over in the corner, grandma and grandpa had em too
Mama got em , papa got em, sister got em, everybody got em
Im goin to the country, mama do you wanna go?
If I cant take you, I believe Ill take three or four more
Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild, wild, wild
Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild
Ya know I aint good lookin, but Ill stumble on a sweet angel-child
(Alt. lyric : 'Im gonna find me a sweet angel-child')
Mama got em, (doncha know ?), papa got em, sister got em, everybody got em
Im goin to the country, mama do you wanna go ?
If I cant take you, I believe Ill take three or four more
Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve to hide (drive) Willie McTell from your door ?
