T for Texas, T for Tennesee,
T for Texas, T for Tennessee,
T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out of me.
O...

If you don't want me momma, you sure don't have to stall, oh no,
If you don't want me mamma, you sure don't have to stall.
Cause, I can get more women than a passenger train can haul.
O...

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.
O...

I'm goin where the water drinks like cherry wine.
Lord, I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine.
'Cause this Georgia water, tastes like turpintine.
O...

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.
O...

I'd 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 hog.
O...
