Okay, The Allman Brothers Band One Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low You got no nerve, baby To turn uncle John from your door I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues Well, I looked over in the corner, baby And grandpa seemed to have them too Well, my momma died and left me My poppa 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 want to go? 'Cause 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 Well, I love that woman Better than any woman I've ever seen Well, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah And she look like a doggone queen Oh, wake up momma, turn your lamp down low Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low You got no nerve, baby To turn uncle John from your door
