Tennessee Stud

Well, there never was a hoss Like the Tennessee Stud Along about 18 to 25 I left Tennessee very much alive I never would have got Through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee Stud I had some trouble With my sweethearts, pa One of her brothers Was a bad outlaw I sent her a letter By my Uncle Fud An 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 hoss like the Tennessee Stud We drifted on down Into no man's land We crossed the river Called the Rio Grande I raced my hoss With the Spaniards bold 'Till I got me a skin Full-a silver an gold Me and a gambler Couldn't agree We got in a fight Over Tennessee We jerked our guns He fell with a thud And I got away On the Tennessee Stud Well, I got as lonesome As a man can be A-dreamin' of my girl In Tennessee The Tennessee Stud's Green eyes turned blue 'Cause he was a-dreamin' Of a sweetheart, too We loped right on Across Arkansas I whupped her brother And I whupped her pa I found that girl With the golden hair And she was a-ridin' On 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 hoss 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 we forded the flood On the Tennessee mare An the Tennessee Stud Purdy little baby On the cabin floor Little hoss colt Playin' 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 hoss like the Tennessee Stud
