Back about eighteen and twenty-five
I left
Tennessee very much alive
I never would have made it through the
Arkansas mud
If
I hadn't been a-riding on the
Tennessee
Stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I wrote a letter to my
Uncle
Thud
And
I rode away on the
Tennessee
Stud
The
Tennessee
Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stud
I drifted on down into no man's land
I crossed the river called the
Rio
Grande
I raced my horse with the
Spaniards bold'
Til
I got me a skinful of silver and gold
Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over
Tennessee
We pulled our guns, he fell with a thud
And
I rode away on the
Tennessee
Stud
The
Tennessee
Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stud
I rode right back across
Arkansas
And
I whupped her brother and
I whupped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a-riding on a
Tennessee
Mare
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
And a little horse colt playing 'round the door
I love the girl with the golden hair
And the
Tennessee
Stud loves the
Tennessee
Mare.
The
Tennessee
Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stud
