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

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
I said now, wake up momma, a-turn your lamp down low
Well you got no nerve baby, your pappa was down from your door
Yeah alright

I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues
I said I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues, so bad
I looked over in the corner baby, your grandma seemed to have them too
Ya yeah, oh yeah


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 wanna go? Oh yeah
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille
She said she wanna go and I sure will take her, yeah babe

I love that woman, better than any woman I′ve ever seen
Lord I love that woman, better than any woman I′ve ever seen
Well, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah
And she look like a dog gone queen

Yeah wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
I said now wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no nerve babe, to turn Uncle John from your door
