That gal done made a wreck out of me

If don't want me mama

You sure don't have to call

No no

If you don't want me mama

You sure don't have to call

'Cause I can get more women

Than a passenger train can haul

I'm gonna buy me a pistol just because I'm tall

Yes I am

I'm gonna buy me a pistol 'cause I'm tall

I'm gonna shoot poor thelma

Just to see her jump and fall

That gal done made a wreck out of me

I'm goin' where the water

Tastes like cherry wine wine wine

I'm goin' where the water

Tastes like cherry wine

This wispy georgia water

Tastes like turpentine

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun

A great long shiny barrel

No no

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun

A great long shiny barrel

I'm gonna shoot that rounder

That rounder stole away my gal

T for Texas T for Tennessee

Druther drink muddy water

Sleep in a holler log

Druther drink muddy water

Sleep in a holler log

Than to be in atlanta

Treated like a dirty dog
