Johnny Cash – T Is For Texas

T for texas, T for Tennessee

T for texas, T for Tennessee

T for Thelma, the gal made a wreck out of me

If you don’t want me mama, you sure don’t have to stall

If you don’t want me mama, you sure don’t have to stall

I can get more women, than a passenger train can haul

I’m gonna buy me a pistol, just as long as I’m tall

I’m gonna buy me a pistol, just as long as I’m tall

I’m gonna shoot poor Thelma, just to see her jump and fall

And if that’s your mama, you’d better tie her to your side

If that’s your mama, better tie her to your side

Cause if she flags my train, I’m sure gonna let her ride

I’m gonna buy me a shotgun, with a great long shiny barrel

I’m gonna buy me a shotgun, with a great long shiny barrel

I’m gonna shoot that rounder, that stole away my gal

I’d rather drink muddy water, and sleep in a hollow log

I’d rather drink muddy water, and sleep in a hollow log

Than to be in atlanta treated like a dirty hog

Well it’s T for texas, T for Tennessee

T for texas, T for Tennessee

T for Thelma, the gal who made a wreck out of me
