Lyrics

Along about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would have made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding 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 horse like the Tennessee stud
One day I was riding in a beautiful land
I run smack into an Indian band
They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell
And I rode away like a bat out of hell
I circled their camp for a time or two
Just to show what a Tennessee horse can do
The redskin boys couldn't get my blood
Because I was riding 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 horse like the Tennessee stud
I rode on down across no man's land
Crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with the Spaniards bold
Until 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, he fell with a thud
And I got 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 horse like the Tennessee stud
I rode on back across Arkansas
I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was riding on the Tennessee mare
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
Across the mountains and the valleys wide
We come to big muddy and avoided the flood
On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
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
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
There never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
