Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No 1 (T For Texas)

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Jimmie Rogers singing "T for Texas."

"T for Texas"
Lyrics
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma
That gal that made a wreck out of me

[Yodel]

If you don't want me mama
You sure don't have to stall
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

[Yodel]

I'm gonna buy me a pistol
Just as long as I'm tall, Lawd, Lawd
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

[Yodel]

I'm going where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
(Sing 'em, boy, sing 'em)
I'm going where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
'Cause the Georgia water
Tastes like turpentine

[Yodel]

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

[Yodel]

Rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
Rather drink muddy water
And sleep in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog

[Yodel]"
