| Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low | |
| Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low | |
| Have you got the nerve to hide (drive) Willie McTell from your door? | |
| You know I woke up in the mornin', now, I had them Statesboro Blues | |
| I woke up this morning now, I had them Statesboro Blues | |
| I looked over in the corner, grandma and grandpa had 'em too | |
| Mama got 'em, papa got 'em, sister got 'em, everybody got 'em | |
| I'm goin' to the country, mama do you wanna go? | |
| If I can't take you, I believe I'll take three or four more | |
| Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild, wild, wild | |
| Mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild | |
| Ya know I ain't good lookin', but I'll stumble on a sweet angel-child | |
| (Alt. lyric : "I'm gonna find me a sweet angel-child") | |
| Mama got 'em, (doncha know ?), papa got 'em, sister got 'em, everybody got 'em | |
| I'm goin' to the country, mama do you wanna go ? | |
| If I can't take you, I believe I'll take three or four more | |
| Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low | |
| Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low | |
