Tom Rush - Statesboro Blues lyrics

McTell Wake up, baby, turn your lamp down low Wake up, mammy, turn your lamp down low Have you got no nerve to turn uncle john from your door ? I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen Well, now, she treat me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen. Well my momma died and left me My poppa died and left me I ain't good looking baby Want someone sweet and kind. I woke up this morning, I had them statesboro blues I woke up this morning, had them statesboro blues Well, I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too. 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). Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low You got no nerve babe, to turn uncle john from your door.
