cactus picture Tennessee Stud
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 the 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
