Paroles de Tennesee stud

Back about eighteen and twenty-five
I left tennessee very much alive
I never would have made it through the arkansas mud
If i hadn't been ridin on the tennessee stud

I had some 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:
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
And there never was a horse like the tennessee stud

Drifted on down into no man's land
Across the river called the rio grande
I raced my horse with the spaniards fold
Till 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 pulled our guns, an' he fell with a thud
And i rode away on the tennessee stud

Chorus

I rode right back across arkansas
I whipped her brother and i whipped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was ridin' on a tennessee mare

Chorus

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little horse colt playin' 'round the door
I love the girl with golden hair
And the tennessee stud loves the tennessee mare

Chorus
