Blue Yodel No 1 Lyrics


T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for Tennessee
T for Thelma
That gal that made a wreck out of meIf you don't want me mama
You sure don't have to stall
You sure don't have to stall
'Cause I can get more women
Than a passenger train can haulI'm gonna buy me a pistol
Just as long as I'm tall
Just as long as I'm tall
I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma
Just to see her jump and fallI'm goin' where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
Drinks like cherry wine
'Cause this Georgia water
Tastes like turpentineI'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shiny barrel

With a great long shiny barrel
I'm gonna shoot that rounder
That stole away my gal'Druther drink muddy water
Sleep in a holler log
Sleep in a holler log
Than to be in Atlanta
Treated like a dirty dog

There is more than one artist by the name 'Jimmie Rodgers'. 1) Jimmie Rodgers (James Charles Rodgers, September 8, 1897 – May 26, 1933) was an American country singer in the early 20th century, known most widely for his rhythmic yodeling. Among the first country music superstars and pioneers, Rodgers was also known as "The Singing Brakeman", "The Blue Yodeler", and "The Father of Country Music". The Bristol sessions are considered the "Big Bang" of modern country music. They were held in 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee by Victor Talking Machine Company company producer Ralph Peer.
