Statesboro Blues (March 12, 1971 - First Show) Songtext
von The Allman Brothers Band

Okay, we all remember this dance

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, had them Statesboro Blues
Well, I looked over in the corner baby, and grandma 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 someone sweet and kind

I′m goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille said she wanna go
Well, 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, how, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah
I treat her like a doggone queen

Lord wake my momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, but turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve baby, to turn my momma down from your door
