T for Texas

by Jimmy Rodgers

Northern Lights (Take You to the Sky) Flying Fish

Ah T for Texas, T for Tennessee.

Ah T for Texas, T for Tennessee.

And T for Thelma

that gal she made a wreck out of me.

Gonna buy me a pistol

With a great long shiny barrel

Gonna buy me a pistol

With a great long shiny barrel

So I can shot that rounder

That stole away my gal

Yoodoolehee, Yoodoolehe, Yoodoolehee

Well if you don't love me mama

You don't have to stall

Well if you don't love me mama

You don't have to stall

Cause I can get more women

Than a passenger train can haul

I'd rather drink muddy water

Sleep in a hollow log

Rather drink muddy water

Sleep in a hollow log

Than be here in this city

Just weeping like an old hound dog

Yoodoolehee, Yoodoolehe, Yoodoolehee

(Chorus)

Yoodoolehee, Yoodoolehe, Yoodoolehee
