- Along about eighteen and twenty-five
- I left Tennessee very much alive
- And I never would've got through the Arkansas mud
- If I hadn't been riding that 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
- chorus
- 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
- There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
- We drifted on down into no man's land
- Across the river called the Rio Grande
- I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
- Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
- Me and the 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 a Tennessee Stud
- {chorus}
- Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be
- Dreaming of my girl and tennesse
- The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue because
- He was dreamin of his sweetheart too!
- I 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 a riding that Tennessee Mare
- (whoa boy!)
- {chorus}
- Stirrup to sturrup and side by side
- We crossed them mountains and the valleys wide
- We came to Big Muddy and then we forded a flood
- On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
- There's a pretty little baby on the cabin floor
- A little horse colt playing round the door
- I love that girl with the golden hair
- And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
- (they's good horses)
- {chorus}
