The Youngbloods

Statesboro Blues

Well, wake up mama, turn your lamp down low, whoa

Yeah, wake up my mama, turn your lamp down low, low, yeah

Ain't got the nerve now mama, not to drive me from your door

'Cause my mama died and left me reckless, my papa died and left me wild, wild

Yeah my mama died and left me reckless, papa died and left me wild, wild, whoa, yeah

You know I ain't good lookin', but I'm some sweet woman's angel child, child

Well alright now!

Goin' up the country, mama would you like to go?

Goin' up the country, mama would you like to go?

I'm gonna take my baby now, might take two or three more

'Cause I got 'em, you got 'em

Mama's got 'em, papa's got 'em, sister's got 'em, brother's got 'em

Well I woke up this mornin', did not know what to do

I looked over in the corner, Grandma and Grandpa's got 'em too

Well alright, alright!

I got the Statesboro blues

I got the Statesboro blues

I've got the Statesboro blues

I got the Statesboro blues

Lord, I got them Statesboro blues, yeah
