Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me

If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
I've had more pretty women than a passenger train can haul

Gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
Gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel
I'm gonna shoot myself a rounder oh that stole away my gal

I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Than to be in Atlanta, Georgia, treat me like a dirty dog
I don't have to go for that

If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
If you don't want me baby, mama you sure don't got to stall
And I've had more pretty women than a passenger train can haul
And that ain't all

I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
I'd rather drink your muddy water, sleep down in a hollow log
Log, log, log, yeah
Than to be in Atlanta, Georgia, treated like a dirty dog

Oh give me a T for Texas, give me a T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me

Give me a T for Texas, give me that T for Tennessee
Give me a T for Thelma, woman made a fool out of me
One more time

Give me a T for Thelma, oh that woman made a fool
I said, "Oh, that woman made a fool out of me, yeah"
