Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas) - Jimmie Rodgers

'T' for Texas, 'T' for Tennessee

'T' for Texas, 'T' for Tennessee

'T' for Thelma,

That girl that made a wreck out of me

Yodelaeeeo...

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

Yodelaeeeo...

I'm gonna buy me a pistol

Just as long as I'm tall

I'm gonna buy me a pistol, Lawd, Lawd

Just as long as I'm tall

I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma

Just to see her jump and fall

Yodelaeeeo...

I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine

I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine

'Cause the Georgia water tastes like terpentine

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a big long shiny barrel

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a big long shiny barrel

I'm gonna that round dog that stole away my gal

Yodelaeeeo...

Rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log

Rather drink muddy water a sleep in a hollow log

Than to be in Atlanta treated like a dirty dog

Yodelaeeeo...
