Title: STATESBORO BLUES (Blind Willie McTell)
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too.
Well my momma died and left me
My poppa died and left me
I ain t god lookin baby
But somewhere I m sweet and kind
I m goin to the country, baby do you want to go
If you can t make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go
(and I sure will take her).
I love that woman, better than any woman I ve ever seen
I love that woman, better than any woman I ve ever seen
She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen.
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.
