            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

            You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.

            I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too.

            Well my momma died and left me
               C7
            My poppa died and left me
              C7

            C7
            But somewhere I'm sweet and kind


                F7                                        C7

               G7                      F7                          C7
            If you can't make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go

            (and I sure will take her).


            C7                 F7                              C7
            I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
            F7                                                 C7
            I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen

            She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen.


            C7             F7                  C7
            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
