T FOR TEXAS (Jimmie Rodgers) T for Texas, T for Tennessee T for Texas, T for Tennessee T for Thelma That gal that made a wreck out of me. YODEL: O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-lay-ee If you don't want me mama You sure don't have to stall 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 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 and fall. YODEL I'm going where the water Drinks like cherry wine, sing 'em boy, sing 'em Lawd, I'm going where the water Drinks like cherry wine 'Cause the Georgia water Tastes like turpentine. YODEL I'm gonna buy me a shotgun With a great long shiny barrel I'm gonna buy me a shotgun With a great long shiny barrel I'm gonna shoot that rounder That stole away my gal. YODEL Rather drink muddy water Sleep in a hollow log Rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollow log Than to be in Atlanta Treated like a dirty dog.
