Tennessee Stud
By: Doc Watson
A G
Along about eighteen twenty five, I left Tennessee very much alive
A
And I never would got through the Arkansas mud,
E------g A
If I hadn't been a ridin' that Tennessee Stud.
I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw, One o' her
brothers was a bad outlaw. Sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud, Then
I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.
Chorus:
A G A D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean, The color of the sun and his
C E A G^ A
eyes were green. He had the nerve and he had the blood,
C A E-----g A
And there never was a horse like The Tennessee Stud.
We drifted on down in-ta no man's land, And crossed that river
called the Rio Grande. I raced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal,
'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, A dreamin' of my
girl in Tennessee. The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue,
'Cause he was A dreamin' of his sweetheart too.
We loped right back across Arkansas, I whooped her brother and I
whooped her Paw. When I found that girl with the golden hair, She
was a ridin' on a Tennessee Mare. Whoa Boy
Chorus
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side, We crossed them mountains and
the valleys wide. When we came to big muddy, had to ford a flood,
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud.
There's a prety little baby on the cabin floor, frisky little colt
runnin' 'round the door. I love that girl with the golden hair,
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee Mare.
