Statesboro Blues

Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
 Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
 Have you got the nerve to drive Papa McTell from your door
 My mother died and left me reckless
 My daddy died and left me wild, wild, wild
 Mother died and left me reckless
 Daddy died and left me wild, wild, wild
 No, I'm not good lookin'
 I'm some sweet woman's Angel child
 You're a mighty mean woman, to do me this a way
 You're a mighty mean woman, to do me this a way
 When I leave this town, pretty mama, I'm going away to stay
 While I loved a woman, better than even I'd ever seen
 I once loved a woman, better than even I'd ever seen
 Treat me like I was a king and she was a doggone queen
 Sister, tell your brother, brother tell your auntie now
 Auntie tell your uncle, uncle tell my cousin now, cousin tell my friend
 Goin' up the country, mama, don't you want to go?
 May take me a fair brown, may take me one or two more
 Big Eighty left Savannah, Lord, and did not stop
 You ought to saw that colored fireman when he got that boiler hot
 You can reach over in the corner mama and hand me my travelin' shoes
 You know by that, I've got them Statesboro blues
 Mama, sister got 'em, auntie got 'em
 Brother got 'em, friend got 'em, I got 'em
 Woke up this morning, we had them Statesboro blues
 I looked over in the corner, grandpa and grandma had 'em too
