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 could haul 

I'm gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel 
I'm gonna buy myself a shotgun, one with a long shiny barrel 
I'm gonna shoot me 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 
'Cause I've had more pretty women than a passenger train could 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 
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 said oh, that woman made a fool 
Out of me, yeah
