Back about 1825
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would've got through
The Arkansas mud if I hadn't been a ridin'
On the Tennessee Stud

I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of his brothers was a bad outlaw
I send her a letter by my Uncle Fudd
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud


The Tennesee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
Like the Tennessee Stud

We drifted on down onto no man's land
We crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with a Spaniard foal
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud

Well I got just as lonesome as a man can be
Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was dreaming of his sweetheart too

We loped right back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother and whipped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a riding on the Tennessee Mare


The Tennesee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
Like the Tennessee Stud

Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood
And the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud

A pretty little baby and the cabin floor
A little horse colt playin' 'round the door
And I love the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves
The Tennessee Mare

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
Like the Tennessee Stud
