'T' for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me

If you don't want me mama, you sure don't have to stall

Well, 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'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
