T FOR TEXAS (BLUE YODEL No 1)
(Jimmie Rodgers)

T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for old Thelma
The gal who made a wreck out of me

Yodel

Well, if you don't want me momma
You sure don't have to start
Ah, if you don't want me momma
You sure don't have to start
'Cause I can get more women
Than a passenger train car
 

Yodel

???????
 

Yodel

I'm going where the water
Tastes like cherry wine
Yeah, I'm going where the water
Tastes like cherry wine
'Cause the water down here in Georgia
Tastes like turpentine

Yodel

Gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel
Gonna shoot down that rounder
That stole away my girl

Yodel

I'd rather drink muddy water,
Sleep in a hollow log,
I'd rather drink muddy water,
Sleep in a hollow log,
Than to be here in Atlanta
And get treated like a dirty dog.

Yodel
