Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low |
|
Won't you wake up momma, turn your lamp down low |
|
Do you have the nerve to drive me from your door? |
|
I said that gater left Savannah, Lord, it could not stop |
|
You should have seen that colored farmer when he got that boiler hot |
|
Reach over in the corner mama, won't you hand me my travelling shoes |
|
Well Lord, my god, I got them Statesboro blues |
|
Well, my momma died and left me reckless |
|
My poppa died and left me wild, wild, wild |
|
Well my mama died and left me reckless |
|
Papa died and left me wild |
|
See I ain't good looking but I'm someone's angel child |
|
I said Mama tell your Papa |
|
Papa tell your sister |
|
Sister tell your uncle |
|
We're going up the country |
|
Wouldn't you like to go? |
|
We're going to do one for background |
|
Then do two or three more |
|
I said that gater left Savannah, Lord, it could not stop |
|

|
Reach over in the corner mama, won't you hand me my travelling shoes |
|
Well Lord, my god, I got them Statesboro blues |
|
Yeah Lord, my god, I got me them Statesboro blues... |
