(Speak this intro gradually going into singing on ...the Tennessee stud part)
Well there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
V#1
Along about eighteen twenty five
I left Tennessee very much alive
And I never would got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-riding that Tennessee stud
V#2
I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
Then I rode away on the Tennessee stud
Chorus:
The Tennessee Stud was long and mean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
V#3
We drifted on down into no man's land
And crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I raced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
V#4
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
V#5
Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be
A-dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was dreaming bout his sweetheart too
V#6
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-riding that Tennessee mare
Repeat Chorus:
V#7
Stirrup to stirrup 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
V#8
There's a pretty little girl on the cabin floor
And a little horse colt laying on the floor
I love that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare
Repeat Chorus and end:
