Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low Say you got no amount of nerve honey, To drive Uncle John from your door
You know I woke up this mornin' I had them statesboro blues Woke up this mornin' had them statesboro blues I looked over 'round the corner babe Aww and grandma had them too oh yeah

Oh, wake up mama, turn your lamp down low Yeah-ah-ah-ah mama, turn your lamp down low Say you got no amount of nerve baby, To drive Uncle John from your door.
