Statesboro Blues by The Allman Brothers Band

Wake up Momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up Momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby
To turn uncle John from your door

I woke up this mornin', I had them Statesboro blues
I woke up this mornin', and had them Statesboro blues
Well I looked over in the corner, babe
And Grandpa seemed to have them too, oh

Well, my Momma died and left me
My Poppa died and left me
I ain't good lookin' baby
Want someone sweet and kind

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille said she wanna go
And I sure will take her

I love that woman, better than any woman I have ever seen
Well I love that woman, better than any woman I have ever seen
Well she treat me like a King, yeah, yeah, yeah
Treat her like a dog gone queen

Oh, wake up Momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up Momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby
To turn uncle John from your door, oh
