T for Texas
T for Tennessee (repeat)
T for Thelma that gal that made a wreck out of me. (yodel) (Second verse)
If you don't want me, mamma, you don't have to call (repeat)'
Cause I can get more women than a passenger train can haul.(yodel) (Third verse)
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as
I am tall (repeat)
I'm gonna shoot poor
Thelma just to see her jump and fall. (yodel)
I'm goin' where the water drinks like cherry wine (repeat) '
Cause that
Georgia water tastes like turpintine. (yodel) (fourth verse)
I'm goin' to buy me a shotgun with a big long shiny barrel (repeat)
I'm goin' to shoot that lyin' dog that stole away my gal.(yodel) (fifth verse)
Rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log (repeat)
Than to be in
Atlanta-treated like a dirty dog. (yodel)
