[Chorus]
D
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
G
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
A D
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
[Verse 2]
D
If you don't want me, mama you sure don't have to stall
G D
If you don't want me, mama you sure don't have to stall
A D
I can get more women than a passenger train can haul
[Verse 3]
D
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall
G D
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall
A D
I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma, just to see her jump and fall
[Verse 4]
D
And if that's your mama, you better tie her to your side
G D
If that's your mama, better tie her to your side
A D
'Cause if she flags my train I'm sure gonna let her ride
[Verse 5]
D
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
G D
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
A D
I'm gonna shoot that rounder that stole away my gal
[Verse 6]
D
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
G D
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
A D
Than to be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty dog
[Chorus]
D
Well, it's T for Texas, T for Tennessee
G
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
A D A D
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
