My first tab!!
Lyric searches show last line in first verse is "cured of", but I always thought it was "cleared up".
I prefer the slightly raunchier version.
F#mI was goin' across Oklahoma
And I Athought I'd fall iEn love
EMet up with a girl named F#mThelma
DTook three months Eto get cleared upF#m  
F#mMade up my mind I was gonna get myself together
I was Agonna straighten uEp
EMade me some friends out F#min Colorado
DTill they found out I sold Edope and they locked me upF#m  
F#mYou just name it and I've done it
By mysAelf or with a Ecrowd
EI didn't care just what it cost F#mme
DI feel lucky that EI'm still aroundF#m  
F#mAin't gonna pull no hard luck stories
Like a Alot of people's Edone
EI just did it cause F#mI wanted to
DTo me it was Ealways kinda' F#mfun
F#mI don't claim to be Caruso
And AI'm not number Eone
EAnd if you don't like my F#msinging
DJust put the needle Eon some other F#msong
DJust put your needle Eon some other F#msong
F#mI don't claim to be Caruso
And AI'm not number Eone
EAnd if you don't like my F#msinging
DJust put your needle Eon some other F#msong
Ya' hear?
DJust put your needle Eon another F#msong
