1. ABack about eighteen and twenty-five
I Gleft Tennessee very much alive
I neAver would`ve made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn`t been riding on the ETennessee AStud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart`s pa
GOne of her brothers was a bad outlaw
AI write a letter to my uncle Fudd
And I rode away on the ETennessee AStud

CHORUS:
The ATennessee Stud was Glong and Alean
The Dcolor of the sun and his Ceyes were Egreen
AHe had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like ETennessee AStud

2. Drifted on down into no man's land
Across the river called the Rio Grande
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and the 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

CHORUS:...

3. I rode right back across Arkansas
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little horse colt playing round the door
I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

CHORUS:...
