Whipping Post - Statesboro Blues

Copied!edit Lyrics

Wake up mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said now wake up mama
And turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby
To pop uncle John from your door
Alright, yeah

I woke up this morning
I had them Statesboro blues
I said I woke up this morning
I had them Statesboro blues so bad
I looked over in the corner baby
And Grandma seemed to have them too
Darling, yeah

Well my mama died and left me
My papa died and left me
I ain't good looking, baby
But I'm somewhat sweet and kind
I'm goin' to the country, baby
Do you wanna go?
Oh, yeah
But if you can't make it, baby
Your sister Lucille said she wanna go
And I sure will take her
I love that woman
Better than any woman I've ever seen
Lord, I love that woman
Better than any woman I've ever seen
Now she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah
Treat me like a dog gone king

Ooh, wake up mama
Turn your lamp down low
I said now wake up mama
Turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby
To turn uncle John from your door
