Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

Back about eighteen and twenty five 
I left Tennessee very much alive 
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud 
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee stud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa 
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw 
I wrote a letter to my uncle Spud 
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud 
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 
There never was a horse like Tennessee stud

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

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 
There was never a horse like the Tennessee stud

I rode right back across Arkansas 
I whipped her brother and I whipped 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

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 
There was never a horse like the Tennessee stud
