Statesboro Blues

          A                        
Won't you wake up momma, turn your 
          E
lamp down low
       B7                A        
Do you have the nerve to drive me 
          E
from your door?


I said that gater left Savannah, 
Lord, it could not stop

You should have seen that colored 
farmer when he got that boiler hot
       A                           
Reach over in the corner mama, 
                            E
won't you hand me my travelling 
shoes
     B7              A         
Well Lord, my god, I got me them 
             E

See I ain't good looking but I'm 
 A               E
someone's angel child

I said Mama tell your Papa

Papa tell your sister

Sister tell your uncle

We're going up the country
