T for Texas, T for Tennesee T for Texas, T for Tennessee T for Thelma That gal made a wreck out of me [Yodel] 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 pa**enger 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 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 [Yodel]
