Rose Maddox - Molly And Tenbrooks lyrics

Run ol' Molly run run ol' Molly run

Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright and shinin' sun

To the bright and shinin' sun oh Lord to the bright and shinin' sun

Tenbrooks was big bad horse he had a shaggy mane

He went all around to Memphis he'd beat the Memphis train

Beat the Memphis train oh Lord beat the Memphis train

[ banjo ]

The women all're laughin' the children all're cryin'

The men're a hollerin' ol' Tenbrooks is flyin'

Ol' Tenbrooks is flyin' oh Lord ol' Tenbrooks is flyin'

Out in California well Molly done as she pleased

Come back to ol' Kentucky got beat with all ease

Beat with all ease oh Lord beat with all ease

[ mandolin ]

Kiper Kiper you're not ridin' as right

Molly's beatin' ol' Tenbrooks clear her out of sight

Clear her out of sight oh Lord clear her out of sight

Kiper Kiper Kiper my son

Your ol' Tenbrooks provide her let ol' Tenbrooks run

Let ol' Tenbrooks run oh Lord let ol' Tenbrooks run

[ fiddle ]

Goin' catch ol' Tenbrooks and hitch him in the shade

We gonna bury ol' Molly in coffin ready made

Coffin ready made oh Lord coffin ready made
