"T for Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1)" Lyrics

(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.

(Come hear me yodel)...
