Lyrics “T” for Texas (Blue Yodel, No. 1) - 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
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
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
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
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
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
I'm
goin'
where
the
water
Drinks
like
cherry
wine,
ding
on
boys,
ding
'em
Lord
I'm
goin'
where
the
water
Drinks
like
cherry
wine
'Cause
the
Georgia
water
Tastes
like
turpentine
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
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
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
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
O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee
