Statesboro Blues Songtext
von The Youngbloods

Well, wake up, mama
Turn your lamp down low, low
Yeah, wake up mama, mama
Turn your lamp down low, low
Yes, ain′t got the nerve now, mama
Not to drive me from your door

'Cause my Mama died and left me with this
My Papa died and left me wild, wild
Yeah, my Mama died and left me with this
Papa died and left me wild, wild
Oh yes, you know I ain′t good looking
But I'm some sweet woman's angel-child, child
But 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, I might take 2 or 3 more

′Cause I got 'em
You got ′em
Mama's got ′em, Papa's got 'em
Sister′s got ′em, brother's got ′em
Now, I woke up this morning
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 got the Statesboro blues
I got the Statesboro blues
Lord, I got them Statesboro blues, yeah
