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
