Blues Yodel (T For Texas)
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log.
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log.
Than to stay in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog.
Well it's T for Texas
T for Tennessee.
T for Texas
T for Tennessee.
T for Thelma the girl
That made a fool out of me.
Well I went to the depot
Looked up on the board.
Well I went to the depot
Looked up on the board.
He says there's good times here,
better down the road.
It's raining here
Stormin' on a deep blue sea.
It's raining here
Stormin' on a deep blue sea.
I wish that a tornado
Would blow you back to me.
Well it's T for Thelma
T for Tennessee.
Well it's T for Thelma
T for Tennessee.
And it's T for Texas, the state
That made a fool/wreck out of me.
If your house catches fire
And there ain't no water around.
If your house catches fire
And there ain't no water around,
Throw my suitcase out the window
Let the house burn on down.
