T for Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1)

(Jimmie Rodgers)



Yeah, T for Texas, T for Tennessee

I said T for Texas, T for Tennessee

T for that no good woman, no good gal

That made a wreck out of me, Lord.



--- Instrumental ---



I'd rather drink myself muddy water

Sleep all night in a hollow log

I'd rather drink a muddy water

Sleep all night in a hollow log

Than to hang around now and be put down

And treated like a dirty dog.



--- Instrumental ---



If you don't want me woman

Just say so that's all

If you don't want me woman

all you gotta do is come around and say so that's all

Cause I can get myself more women

Than a passanger train can haul.



--- Instrumental ---



T for Texas, T for Tennessee

I said T for Texas, T for Tennessee

T for Thelma, no good gal

That made a wreck of me.
