T for Texas, T for Tennessee,
T for Texas, T for Tennessee.
T for Thelma, that gal that made a wreck out of me.
(Yodels)

I’m going where the water tastes like cherry wine.
I’m going where the water tastes like cherry wine.
This old Georgia water tastes like turpentine.
(Yodels)

Going to the river; take me a rocking chair.
Going to the river; take me a rocking chair.
If the blues don’t leave me, I gonna rock away from here.
(Yodels)

Jimmy Driftwood: "Thank you, Blondie. Thank you very much."
