Tennessee Stud
Lyricist:George Morton
Along about eighteen twenty five I left Tennessee very much alive I never would have forded 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 sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean mean 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
We drifted on down into no man's land We crossed the river called the Rio Grande I raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal 'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud And I got away on the Tennessee Stud
Well, I got as lonesome as a man can be Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue 'Cause he was a dreaming of his sweetheart too
We loped right back across Arkansas I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa I found that girl with the golden hair And she was a riding on the Tennessee Mare
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean mean 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
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide We came to Big Muddy and forded the flood On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor 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 mean 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
