In eighteen hundred twenty -five
I left Tennes see very much a live
I never would've got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud
I had piece of trouble my sweetheart's Pa
One of her brothers was a bad out law
I sent her a letter to my Uncle Judd
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
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
Drifted on down into no man's land
A cross the river called the Rio Grande
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 a gree
We got in a fight over one two three
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
I rode away on a 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
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
I was as lonesome as a man can be
Thinking of my girl back in Tennes see
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a- dreamin' of a sweetheart too
I loped right back into Arkan sas
And I rode all night and my back was raw
I found me the girl with the golden hair
She was a- riding 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
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We come Big Muddy and we forded the flood
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
And a 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
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud !
