Tennessee Stud Lyrics

Tennessee Stud lyrics

Well, there never was a hoss

Like the Tennessee Stud



Along
about 18 to 25

I left Tennessee very much alive

I never would have
got

Through the Arkansas mud

If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the
Tennessee Stud



I had some trouble

With my sweethearts,
pa

One of her brothers

Was a bad outlaw



I sent her a
letter

By my Uncle Fud

An I rode away

On the Tennessee
Stud



The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the
sun

And his eyes were green

He had the nerve an he had the
blood

And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee Stud



We
drifted on down

Into no man's land

We crossed the river

Called the Rio Grande



I raced my hoss 

With the Spaniards
bold

'Till I got me a skin

Full-a silver an gold



Me an
a gambler

Couldn't agree

We got in a fight

Over Tennessee



We jerked our guns

He fell with a thud

An I got away

On the Tennessee Stud



Well, I got as lonesome

As a man can
be

A-dreamin' of my girl

In Tennessee



The Tennessee
Stud's

Green eyes turned blue

'Cause he was a-dreamin'

Of a
sweetheart, too 



We loped right on

Across Arkansas

I
wupped her brother

And I wupped her pa



I found that girl

With the golden hair

An she was a-ridin'

On the Tennessee mare



The Tennessee Stud was long an lean

The color of the sun

And his eyes were green

He had the nerve an a-he had the blood

And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee Stud



Stirrup to
stirrup

And side by side

We crossed the mountains

And the
valleys wide



We came to Big Muddy

And we forded the
flood

On the Tennessee mare

An the Tennessee Stud



Purdy little baby

On the cabin floor

Little hoss colt

Playin' round the door



I love the girl

With the golden
hair

And the Tennessee Stud

Loves the Tennessee Mare



The Tennessee Stud was long an lean

The color of the sun

And his
eyes were green

He had the nerve an he had the blood

And there
never was a hoss like the Tennessee Stud.
