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 Am D
If I hadn't been a-ridin' on the Tennessee Stud.
D
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa,
C C6 C
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw.
D
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Bud,
D Am D Am D
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.
D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
C Bb7 A7 Bb7 A7
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 C6 C
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande.
D
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal
D Am D Am D
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold.
D
Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree,
C C6 C
We got in a fight over Tennessee.
D
We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud,
D Am D Am D
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud.
D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
C Bb7 A7 Bb7 A7
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
I got just as lonesome as a man can be,
C C6 C
Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee.
D
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
D Am D Am D
'Cause he was a-dreamin' of a sweetheart, too,
D
We loped right back across Arkansas;
C C6 C
I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa.
D
I found that girl with the golden hair,
D Am D Am D
And she was a-riding on the Tennessee Mare.
D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
C Bb7 A7 Bb7 A7
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
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side,
C C6 C
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide.
D
We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood
D Am D Am D
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud.
