1927 - Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel (T For Texas)

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

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee.

If you don't want me mama.
You sure don't have to stall.
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.

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee.

I'm gonna buy me a pistol
Just as long as I'm tall, Lawd, Lawd
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-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee.

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel.
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel.
I'm gonna shoot that rounder
That stole my gal.

O-de-lay-ee-a-lay-ee-o-ly-ee.

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 dog.
