Statesboro Blues Dickey Betts & Great Southern Art Park 2007

Dickey and the band take the crowd to the edge with amazing version of Statesboro Blues at Art Park Lewiston NY 2007 (back Aug 5 2008)

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low;
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.
You got no nerve baby, to turn uncle john from your door.

I woke up this morning, I had them statesboro blues,
I woke up this morning, had them statesboro blues.
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 aint good looking baby,
Want someone sweet and kind.

Im goin to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you cant make it baby, your sister lucille said she wanna go.
(and I sure will take her).

I love that woman, better than any woman Ive ever seen;
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman Ive ever seen.
Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I treat her like a dog gone 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.

In New York City, a place where Dickey Betts had had many great achievements, he played what will possibly become his last touring date on December 12, his 66th birthday.

"Im not retiring from playing. Im sure there will be some great special events that Ill be at in the future. But for now, I look forward to waking up tomorrow with nothing on my schedule."

After more than 40 years of constant touring its time for a well deserved break.

I don't excactly think of the blues as "redneck music"...but maybe that's just me.

[mrpoppacool]

they sound like an average garage band on this video or maybe it's just the low quality audio.

[seasharpdeflat]

What's the slide guitarist's name to Dickey's right? I see him on a lot of videos.

@newbliss3 I saw Mr. Betts many time and was never disappointed. My only regret I didn't see ya before 1970 I think my first show was in 74 or so.

[je713]

another train wreck

[johnbourbon]

thinking back i think i was actually re-naming the band "dickie betts and the les paul juniors"...

i was probably drinking at the time.
