Statesboro Blues – Gregg Allman (originally by Blind Willie McTell)

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve darlin’, to turn Uncle John from your door

Woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
Woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
Down over in the corner, Grandma seemed to have them too

Well my momma died and left me
My poppa died and left me
I ain’t good looking baby
But I’m somewhat sweet as child

I’m goin’ to the country, baby do you wanna go?
If you can’t make it darlin’, your sister Lucille said she wanna go
Now damn sure I will take her there

I love that woman, better than any woman I’ve ever seen
I said I love that woman, better than any woman I’ve ever seen
Thought she treat me like a king
And she look like a dog gone queen

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve darlin’, to turn Uncle John from your door
