Jimmie Rodgers Blue Yodel No. 1 ("T For Texas")

Tekst piosenki

T for Texas
T for Tennessee [rpt]
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 [rpt]
Cause I can get more women
Than a passenger train can haul

I’m gonna buy me a pistol
Just as long as I’m tall [rpt]
I’m gonna shoot poor Thelma
Just to see her jump and fall

I’m goin’ where the water
Drinks like cherry wine. [rpt]
Cause this Georgia water
Tastes like turpentine

I’m gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel [rpt]
I’m gonna shoot that rounder
That stole away my gal

’Druther drink muddy water
Sleep in a holler log [rpt]
Than to be in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog
