(BLUE YODEL #1) T FOR TEXAS by Jimmy Rodgers 1928


T FOR TEXAS T FOR TENNESSEE T FOR TEXAS T FOR TENNESSEE
T FOR THELMA THAT GAL THAT MADE A WRECK OUT OF ME

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME WOMAN YOU SURE DON'T HAVE TO STALL
IF YOU DON'T WANT ME WOMAN YOU SURE DON'T HAVE TO STALL
I CAN GET MORE WOMEN THAN A PASSENGER TRAIN CAN HAUL

I'M GONNA BUY ME A PISTOL JUST AS LONG AS I AM TALL
I'M GONNA BUY ME A PISTOL JUST AS LONG AS I AM TALL
I'M GONNA SHOOT POOR THELMA JUST TO WATCH HER JUMP AND FALL

AND IF THAT'S YOUR MOMMA YOU BETTER TIE HER TO YOUR SIDE
IF THAT'S YOUR MOMMA YOU BETTER TIE HER TO YOUR SIDE
CAUSE IF SHE FLAGS MY TRAIN I'M SURE GONNA LET HER RIDE

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

I'D RATHER DRINK MUDDY WATER AND SLEEP IN A HOLLOW LOG
I'D RATHER DRINK MUDDY WATER AND SLEEP IN A HOLLOW LOG
THAN BE IN ATLANTA TREATED LIKE A DIRTY DOG

T FOR TEXAS T FOR TENNESSEE T FOR TEXAS T FOR TENNESSEE
T FOR THELMA THAT GAL THAT MADE A WRECK OUT OF ME
