D

Along about eighteen twenty-five,

C C6 C

I left Tennessee very much alive.

D

I never would have got through the Arkansas mud

D Am D AmD

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

D

I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa,

C C6C

And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw.

D

I sent her a letter by my Uncle Bud,

D Am D AmD

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

D

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,

C Bb7 A7 Bb7A7

The color of the sun, and his eyes were green.

D

He had the nerve and he had the blood,

D Am D

And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud.

D

We drifted on down into no man's land,

C C6C

We crossed that river called the Rio Grande.

D

I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal

D Am D AmD

'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold.

D

Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree,

C C6C

We got in a fight over Tennessee.

D

We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud,

D Am D AmD

And I got away on the Tennessee Stud.
