Tenessee Stud

Along about eighteen twenty-five
大約是在1825年
I left Tennessee very much alive
我離開了生活多年的田納西
I never would've made it
如果不是胯下這匹田納西的雄馬
through the Arkansas mud
我根本沒有辦法
If I hadn't been ridin'g on the Tennessee Stud
穿越泥濘的阿肯色
Had a trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
我與我愛人的老爸起了衝突
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
她的一個兄弟還是個法外惡徒
I sent her a letter about my Uncle Fudd
於是我寫信給她讓她去投靠我的叔叔法德
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
而我就騎著田納西雄馬跑路
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
田納西雄馬喲，身型修長又精幹
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
綠色的眼眸和天上的太陽一樣精神
He had the nerve and he had the blood
田納西雄馬喲，勇敢又有型
And there never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
是萬中無一的神駿

我漂進無人區
We drifted on down into no man's land
渡過格蘭德河
Across that river called Rio Grande
與那群西班牙佬競速
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
不久我的皮膚變成閃亮的古銅色
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
又和賭棍在牌桌上鬧了起來
Now me and the gambler we couldn't agree
我們在田納西來了場決鬥
We got in a fight over Tennessee
聲起槍收，我的對手砰然倒地
We jurked our guns and he fell with a thud
然後我就騎著田納西雄馬跑路了
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
田納西雄馬喲，身型修長又精幹
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
綠色的眼眸和天上的太陽一樣精神
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
田納西雄馬喲，勇敢又有型
He had the nerve and he had the blood
這般神駿
And there never was a horse
簡直萬中無一
like Tennessee Stud
我再度穿過阿肯色

就在我再度遇到這位金發可人後
We rode right back across Arkansas
我戰勝了她的老兄和老爸
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
她騎著那匹田納西母駒
When I found that girl with the golden hair
如今，我們的娃兒在小房間裡爬來爬去
She was ridin'that Tennessee Mare
還有一匹小馬崽在門外蹦躂
Now there's a little baby on the cabin floor
我愛著金發可人兒
A little horse colt playin' out the door
也愛我的田納西雄馬
I loved the girl with the golden hair
當然還有那匹田納西母駒
And the Tennessee Stud
田納西雄馬喲，身型修長又精幹
loves the Tennessee Mare
綠色的眼眸和天上的太陽一樣精神
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
田納西雄馬喲，勇敢又有型
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
這般神駿
He had the nerve and he had the blood
簡直萬中無一
And there never was a horse
like Tennessee Stud
