            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
            F5                                 C5
            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
            G5                    F5                           C5
            You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.

            I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
            F5                                          C5
            I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues

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

            Well my momma died and left me
               C5
            My poppa died and left me
              C5
            I ain't god lookin' baby
            C5
            But somewhere I'm sweet and kind


                F5                                        C5
            I'm goin' to the country, baby do you want to go
               G5                      F5                          C5
            If you can't make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go

            (and I sure will take her).


            C5                 F5                              C5
            I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
            F5                                                 C5
            I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
            G5                         F5                          C5
            She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen.


            C5             F5                  C5
            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

            Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
            G5                    F5                           C5
            You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.
