Lyric T For Texas

(Jimmy Rodgers)

Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me

If you don t want me baby, mama you sure don t got to stall
If you don t want me baby, mama you sure don t got to stall
I ve had more pretty women than a passenger train could haul

I m gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
I m gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
I m gonna shoot me a rounder oh that stole away my gal

I d rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I d rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, Georgia, treat me like a dirty dog
(I don t have to go for that)

If you don t want me baby, mama you sure don t got to stall
If you don t want me baby, mama you sure don t got to stall
Cause I ve had more pretty women than a passenger train could haul
And that ain t all

I d rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I d rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, Georgia, treated like a dirty dog

Oh Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
Give me a T for Texas, give me that T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
One more time

Give me a T for Thelma, oh that woman made a fool...
I said said oh, that woman made a fool
Out of me, yeah
