It's T for Texas, T for Tennessee,
Well it's T for Texas, T for Tennessee
And it's 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
I'd rather drink muddy water,
Sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water,
And sleep in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog.
Yodel
