    Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
    Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low
    Have you got the nerve to drive old Willie McTell
    from your door?

    You know I woke up in the mornin',
    now, I had them Statesboro Blues
    I woke up this morning now,
    I had them Statesboro Blues
    I looked over in the corner,
    grandma and grandpa had 'em too

    Mama died and left me, papa died and left me
    Ya know I ain't good lookin',
    but I'll someone sweet angel-child
    I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
    If I can't make it, your sister Louise says
    she wants to go.

    Wake up, mama, turn your lamp down low
    Wake up, mama, now, turn your lamp down low
    Have you got the nerve to drive Willie McTell
    from your door?

    Written & performed by Willie McTell
