Tennessee Stud

[Verse 1]
Back about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding on a Tennessee stud
Had a little trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

[Chorus]
Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and hе had the blood
There nеver was a horse like the Tennessee stud

[Verse 2]
Rode on down into no man's land
I crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with a 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
Fired our guns and he fell with a thud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

[Chorus]
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 the Tennessee stud

[Verse 3]
Rode on back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother and I whipped her pa
Found that girl with the golden hair
And she was riding on a Tennessee mare
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little horse colt laying 'round the door
I love the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare

[Chorus]
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 the Tennessee stud
He had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
