T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out of me
Oh-de-lay-ee oh-lay-ee hey-lay-ee
If you don't want me, mama, you sure don't have to stall, Lord, Lord
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
Oh-de-lay-ee oh-lay-ee hey-lay-ee
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall, Lord, Lord
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
Oh-de-lay-ee hey-lay-ee oh-lay-ee
I'm going where the water drinks like
Cherry wine, sing 'em, boys, sing 'em
Lord, I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
'Cause the Georgia water tastes like turpentine
Oh-de-lay-ee hey-lay-ee oh-lay-ee
ย
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
Gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
I'm gonna shoot that rounder that stole away my gal
