Verses: 12 bar blues in C (or D)

C7                                F7                                       C7

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

F7                                                                            C7

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

 G7                                       F7                                                    C7

You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.

I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues

I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues

I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too.

jam verse x2

G7             C7                        

Well my momma died and left me, My poppa died and left me.

I ain't god lookin' baby But somewhere I'm sweet and kind

       F7                                                                               C7

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you want to go

             G7                                 F7                                                  C7

If you can't make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go

(and I sure will take her).

Jam verse x2

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen

She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen.

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.
