T for Texas T for Tennessee T for Tennessee T for Thelma That gal that made a wreck out of me If you don't want me mama You sure don't have to stall You sure don't have to stall 'Cause I can get more women Than a pa**enger train can haul I'm gonna buy me a pistol Just as long as I'm tall Just as long as I'm tall I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma Just to see her jump and fall I'm goin' where the water Drinks like cherry wine Drinks like cherry wine 'Cause this Georgia water Tastes like turpentine I'm gonna buy me a shotgun With a great long shiny barrel With a great long shiny barrel I'm gonna shoot that rounder That stole away my gal 'Druther drink muddy water Sleep in a holler log Sleep in a holler log Than to be in Atlanta Treated like a dirty dog
