[Verse 1]
C7
  Wake up momma,
F7                       C7
  turn your lamp down low
        F7
I said I  wake up momma,
                    C7
turn your lamp down low
    G7
You got no nerve baby,
F7                            C7
  to turn Uncle John from your  door

[Verse 2]
  C7
I woke up this morning,
F7                           C7
  I had them Statesboro Blues
       F7
I said I woke up this morning,
                   C7
had them Statesboro  Blues
                    G7
So be it, I looked over in the corner baby,
F7                                   C7
  and Grandpa seemed to have them too

[Verse 3]
        C7
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
F7
I'm goin' to the country,
                     C7
baby do you wanna go?
          G7
But if you  can't make it baby,
F7                             C7
  your sister Lucille said she wanna go
(and I sure will take her)

  I love that woman,

      F7
Well, I love that woman,

She treat me like a king, yeah, yeah

And she look like a dog gone queen
