BLUE YODEL
(Rodgers)
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, 1927.

1. T for Texas, T for Tennessee.
T for Texas, T for Tennessee.
T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out o’ me.
YODEL

2. If you don’t want me, mama, you sure don’t have to stall. (Lawd, Lawd)
If you don’t want me, mama, you sure don’t have to stall,
‘Cause I can get more women than a passenger train can haul.
YODEL

3. I’m gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I’m tall. (Lawd, Lawd)
I’m gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I’m tall.
I’m gonna shoot poor Thelma just to see her jump an’ fall.
YODEL

4. I’m goin’ where the water drinks like cherry wine. (Sing ‘em, boy; sing ‘em.)
Lord, I’m goin’ where the water drinks like cherry wine,
‘Cause the Georgia water tastes like turpentine.
YODEL

5. I’m gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barr’l.
Gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barr’l.
I’m gonna shoot that rounder that stole away my gal.
YODEL

6. Rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log.
Rather drink muddy water an’ sleep in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty dog.
YODEL
