Can anybody tell me where to get lyrics of Jimmie Rodgers song: T for Texas

Thank you in advance.

T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for Texas
T for Tennessee
T for Thelma
That gal that made a wreck out of me.

If you don't want me woman
You sure don't have to stall
If you don't want me mama
You sure don't have to stall
'cause 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.

I'm going where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
I'm going where the water
Drinks like cherry wine
Cause this Georgia water
Tastes like turpentine

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shinny barrel
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun
With a great long shinny barrel
I'm gonna shoot that rounder
That stole away my gal

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 dog
