Along about eighteen twenty-five,[00:03:38]

I left Tennessee very much alive.[00:03:38]

I never would have got through the Arkansas mud[00:03:38]

If I hadn＇t been a-ridin＇ on the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

I had some trouble with my sweetheart＇s pa,[00:03:38]

And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw.[00:03:38]

I sent her a letter by my Uncle Bud,[00:03:38]

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,[00:03:38]

The color of the sun, and his eyes were green.[00:03:38]

He had the nerve and he had the blood,[00:03:38]

And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

One day I was riding in a beautiful land[00:03:38]

I run smack into an Indian band[00:03:38]

They jumped their nags with a whoop and a yell[00:03:38]

And away we rode like a bat out of hell.[00:03:38]

I circled their camp for a time or two,[00:03:38]

Just to show what a Tennessee horse can do.[00:03:38]

The redskin boys couldn＇t get my blood,[00:03:38]

＇Cause I was a-riding on the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

We drifted on down into no man＇s land,[00:03:38]

We crossed that river called the Rio Grande.[00:03:38]

I raced my horse with the Spaniard＇s foal[00:03:38]

＇Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold.[00:03:38]

Me and a gambler, we couldn＇t agree,[00:03:38]

We got in a fight over Tennessee.[00:03:38]

We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud,[00:03:38]

And I got away on the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

I got just as lonesome as a man can be,[00:03:38]

Dreamin＇ of my girl in Tennessee.[00:03:38]

The Tennessee Stud＇s green eyes turned blue[00:03:38]

＇Cause he was a-dreamin＇ of a sweetheart, too,[00:03:38]

We loped right back across Arkansas;[00:03:38]

I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa.[00:03:38]

I found that girl with the golden hair,[00:03:38]

And she was a-riding on the Tennessee Mare.[00:03:38]

Stirrup to stirrup and side by side,[00:03:38]

We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide.[00:03:38]

We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood[00:03:38]

On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud.[00:03:38]

A pretty little baby on the cabin floor,[00:03:38]

A little horse colt playing ＇round the door,[00:03:38]

I love that girl with the golden hair,[00:03:38]

And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.[00:03:38]
