Lynyrd Skynyrd - T for Texas (Blue Yodel) Legendado PT-BR

Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing their rendition of Jimmir Rogers classic song 'T for Texas (Blue Yodel)' live at Knebworth Fair in 1976 in honor of the death of Lynyrd Skynyrd bass guitarist Leon Wilkeson on July 27, 2001 at the age of 49.

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd perform in Evansville, Indiana in mid-1975 while I was stationed at Fort Campbell.

For comparison here is the original version

Here are the original lyrics by Jimmie Rogers
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma
That gal that made a wreck out of me

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee

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

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee

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

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee

I'm goin' where the water
Drinks like cherry wine, ding on boys, ding 'em
Lord I'm goin' where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
'Cause the Georgia water
Tastes like turpentine

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee

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

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee

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

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee"

Here are
Lyrics
Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
I've had more pretty women than a passenger train can haul
I'm gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
I'm gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
I'm gonna shoot myself a rounder, oh that stole away my gal
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta Georgia, treat me like a dirty dog
I don't have to go for that
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
Well I've had more pretty women than a passenger train can haul
That ain't all
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Log, log log yeah
Than to be in Atlanta Georgia, treated like a dirty dog
Oh give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
Give me a T for Texas, give me that T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
One more time
Give me a T for Thelma, oh that woman made a fool
I said said oh, that woman made a fool out of me, yeah."
