Tennessee Stud

Back about eighteen and twenty-fiveI left Tennessee very much aliveI never would've made it through the Arkansas mudIf I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee StudHad some trouble with my sweetheart's PaOne of her brothers was a bad outlawI wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud AndI rode away on the Tennessee StudOn a Tennessee StudThe Tennessee Stud was long and leanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodThere never was a horse like Tennessee StudDrifted on down into no man's landAcross the river called the Rio Grande Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foeTil I got me a skin full of silver and goldMe and the gambler, we couldn't agreeWe got in a fight over Tennessee Pulled our guns and he fell with a thudAnd I rode away on a Tennessee StudThe Tennessee Stud was long and leanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodThere was never a horse like the Tennessee StudI rode right back across ArkansasI whipped her brother andI whipped her PaI found that girl with the golden hairShe was riding on a Tennessee MarePretty little baby on the cabin floorLittle horse colt playing round the doorI loved the girl with the golden hairAnd the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee MareThe Tennessee Stud was long and leanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodThere was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud
