T for Texas
Jimmie Rodgers

      E                               E7 A
Well, 'T' for Texas, 'T' for Tennessee
A                               E
'T' for Texas, 'T' for Tennessee
B7                                                E
'T' for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me

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]

Well, I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
I'm going where the water drinks like cherry wine
'Cause this Georgia water tastes like turpentine

I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
Than to be here in Atlanta, [and] get treated like a dirty dog

E            B7          E
Women make a fool out of me

If you're ever down in mobile be sure to look me up
If you're ever down in mobile be sure to look me up
And if your ever in Atlanta tell Lucille to go to hell

Women make a fool out of me
