Won't you wake up momma, turn your lamp down low

Do you have the nerve to drive me from your door?

You should have seen that colored farmer when he got that boiler hot

Reach over in the corner mama, won't you hand me my travelling shoes
     B7              A                      E
Well Lord, my god, I got me them Statesboro blues
