Lyrics
1:04Along about eighteen twenty five
1:06I left Tennessee very much alive
1:10And I never would have gotten through the Arkansas mud
1:12If I hadn't been a ridin' that Tennessee stud
1:18I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
1:20And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
1:24I sent her a letter by my uncle Fud
1:26Then I rode away on the Tennessee stud
1:32The Tennessee stud was long and lean
1:34The color of the sun and his eyes were green
1:39A he had the nerve and he had the blood
1:41And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
1:54We drifted on down into no man's land
1:57We crossed that river called the rio grande
2:01I raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
2:03'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
2:09Me and the gambler we couldn't agree
2:11We got in a fight over Tennessee
2:15We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
2:18And I got away on the Tennessee stud
2:23The Tennessee stud was long and lean
2:25The color of the sun and his eyes were green
2:30A he had the nerve and he had the blood
2:32And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
2:45Well I got just as lonesome as a man can be
2:48A dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
2:52The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
2:54'Cause he was a dreamin' of his sweetheart too
3:00We loped right back across Arkansas
3:02I whooped her brother and I whooped her pa
3:06When I found that girl with the golden hair
3:09She was a ridin' that Tennessee mare whoa boy
3:14The Tennessee stud was long and lean
3:16The color of the sun and his eyes were green
3:21A he had the nerve and he had the blood
3:23And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
3:50Stirrup to stirrup and inside by side
3:53We crossed them mountains and the valleys wide
3:57We came to big muddy then we forded a flood
3:59On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud
4:04There's a pretty little baby on the cabin floor
4:07A little horse colt playin' 'round the door
4:10I love that girl with golden hair
4:13And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare
4:15They'se good horses
4:18The Tennessee stud was long and lean
4:20The color of the sun and his eyes were green
4:25And he had the nerve and he had the blood
4:27And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
