Well, if you don't want me momma
You sure don't have to start
Ah, if you don't want me momma
You sure don't have to start
'Cause I can get more women
Than a passenger train car
Yeah, I said T for Texas
T for Tennessee
Whoa, T for Texas
T for Tennessee
I said, T for old Thelma
The gal who made a wreck out of me
I'm gonna buy me a pistol
Just as long as I am tall
I'm going to buy me a pistol
Just as long as I am tall
I'm gonna shoot down old mean Thelma
Just to watch her jump and fall
I said T for Texas
T for Tennessee
I said T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for old Thelma
The gal who made a wreck out of me
Gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel, oh yeah
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel
Gonna shoot down that rounder
That stole away my girl
[Instrumental]
I'm going where the water
Tastes like cherry wine
Yeah, I'm going where the water
Tastes like cherry wine
'Cause the water down here in Georgia
Tastes like turpentine
I said T for Texas
T for Tennessee
Oh I said, T for Texas
T for Tennessee
I said T for old Thelma
The gal who made a wreck out of me
Oh yeah, women make a fool out of me...
