B

Back about eighteen and twenty-five

A

I left Tennessee very much alive

B

I never woulda made it through the Arkansas mud

F# B

If I hadn’t been ridin’ on a Tennessee stud

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 a Tennessee stud

B A B

The Tennessee stud was long and lean

E D F#

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

B A B

He had the nerve and he had the blood

F# B

There never was a hawse like the Tennessee stud

Drifted on down into No Man’s Land

I crossed the river called the Rio Grande

Raced my hawse with a Spaniard’s foal

Til I got me a skin full o’ silver and gold

Me and a gambler, we couldn’t agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee

Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

And I rode away on a Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud…

I rode right back, I crossed Arkansas

I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

She was ridin’ on a Tennessee mare

Purty little baby on the cabin floor

Little hawse, colt, playin’ around the door

I loved the girl with the golden hair

And the Tennessee stud loves a Tennessee mare

The Tennessee stud…
