Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out of me

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee oh, lay-ee eh, lay-ee

[Verse 2]
If you don't want me mama, you sure don't have to stall, oh 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

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee oh, lay-ee eh, lay-ee

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee eh, lay-ee oh, lay-ee

[Verse 4]
I'm goin' where the water drinks like cherry wine, sing 'em boy sing 'em
Lord I'm goin' where the water drinks like cherry wine
'Cause this Georgia water tastes like turpentine

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee eh, lay-ee oh, lay-ee

[Verse 5]
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

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee eh, lay-ee oh, lay-ee

[Verse 6]
Rather drink muddy water sleep in a holler log
Rather drink muddy water sleep in a holler log
Than to be in Atlanta treated like a dirty dog

[Refrain]
Oh-del-lay-ee eh, lay-ee oh, lay-ee
