Frank Marvin<br /><br />"Blue Yodel" <br /><br />Jimmie Rodgers song <br /><br />Brunswick 3979 <br /><br />1928<br /><br />T for Texas, T for Tennessee<br />T for Texas, T for Tennessee<br />T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out of me<br /><br />If you don't want me, mama, you sure don't have to stall<br />If you don't want me, mama, you sure don't have to stall<br />I can get more women than a passenger train can haul<br /><br />I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall<br />I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall<br />I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma just to see her jump and fall<br /><br />I'm goin' where the water drinks like cherry wine, sing 'em boy sing 'em<br />Lord I'm goin' where the water drinks like cherry wine<br />'Cause this Georgia water tastes like turpentine<br /><br />I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel<br />Gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel<br />I'm gonna shoot that rounder that stole away my gal<br />Oh-del-lay-ee eh, lay-ee oh, lay-ee<br /><br />Rather drink muddy water sleep in a holler log<br />Rather drink muddy water sleep in a holler log<br />Than to be in Atlanta treated like a dirty dog
