Blue Yodel (T for Texas) - Jimmie Rodgers

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
