- Songwriters: Blind Willie Mc Tell
Well, wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said, "Wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low"
Well, you ain't got no reason
Turn uncle Johns from your door
Woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
Woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I looked over in the corner
Grandpa seemed to have them too
My mama died and left me
My papa died and left me
I ain't good lookin' baby
I sure could treat you fine
Goin' to the country
Mama, do you want to go?
Oh, if you don't make it baby
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
Ah, and I sure could take her
Love that little woman
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
Said I love that little woman
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
She treats me like a king
Treat her like a doggone queen
Well, I woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I said, I woke up this morning
Had them Statesboro blues
I looked over in the corner
Grandpa seemed to have them too
So wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said, "Wake up mama
Turn your lamp down low"
Ah, you ain't got no reason
Drive uncle Johns from your door
