Yes now, wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve
To drive poor papa Taj from your door
Woke up this mornin' baby, I had them Statesboro blues
Statesboro Georgia, that is
Woke up this mornin, had them statesboro blues
Looked over in the corner, well my baby had 'em too
Mama died and left me reckless, Papa died and left me wild
I ain't good lookin baby, but I'm someone's sweet angel child
Going to the country, baby do you want to go
I know if you can't make it, your sister Lucille say she wanta go
You know I loved that woman better than any woman I'd ever seen
Yes I loved that woman better than any woman I'd ever seen
She treat me like a king, I treat her like she was a doggone Queen
Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve to drive papa Taj from your door
