T for Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1)

Well, T for Texas, T for Tennessee

T for Texas, T for Tennessee

T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me



If you don't want me mama, you sure don't have to stall, oh no

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



But I'm going with a woman drinks like cherry wine

I'm going with water drinks like cherry wine

'Cause its Georgia woman tastes like turpentine



If you don't want me woman sure don't have to stall

If you don't want me woman you sure don't have to stall

For I can get more women than a passenger train can haul



I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log

I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log

Than to be here in Atlanta, get treated like a dirty dog

Women make a fool out of me



If you're ever down in Mobile you can look me up

If you're ever down in Mobile be sure to look me up

And if you're ever in Atlanta tell Lucille to go to hell

Women make a fool out of me



T for Texas, T for Tennessee, lord, lord

T for Texas, T for Tennessee

T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
