Statesboro Blues - Original |
| 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 |
