Well, I looked over in the corner, and Grandpa seemed to 
have them too 
Well, my momma died and left me, my poppa died and left 
me 
I ain't good lookin', baby, I'm somewhat sweet and kind 
I'm goin' to the country, baby, do you wanna go? 
'Cos if you can't make it, baby, your sister Lucille said 
she wanna go 
And I sure will take her 
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen 
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever

Now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah 
She look like a doggone queen 
Wake up, Momma, turn your lamp down low 
Wake up, Momma, turn your lamp down low 
You got no nerve babe, to turn Uncle John from your door
