Tennessee Stud
Along about eighteen, twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been ridin'g on the Tennessee Stud
Had a trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter about my Uncle Fudd
[00:44.00]And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
[01:50.10][00:49.10]The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
[01:52.40][00:51.30]The color of the sun and his eyes were green
[01:57.50][00 :56.40]He had the nerve and he had the blood
[01:59.60][00:58.80]And there never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
We drifted on down into no man's land
Across that river called, Rio Grande
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Now me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jurked our guns and he fell with a thud
We rode right back across Arkansas
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
When I found that girl with the golden hair
She was ridin' that Tennessee Mare
Now there's a little baby on the cabin floor
A little horse colt playin' out the door
I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
