Bobby Bare - Tennessee Stud lyrics

There never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud Long about eighteen and twenty-five Left Tennessee very much alive Never would've made it through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud Well I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa One of her brothers was a bad outlaw Sent her a letter ‘bout my uncle Thud 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 the Tennessee Stud One day I was riding in a beautiful land Ranch Mikantuoh, Indian band I jurt there night with a hoop and a yep But I rode away like a bad out ahead, ypee Well I circled their camp for a time or two Showed what a Tennessee horse could do Them red skin boys never got my blood Cause I was riding on a Tennessee stud Giddy up, horse We drifted on down into no man's land Across the river called the Rio Grande I raced my horse with the Spaniard's boat Til I got me a sack full of silver and gold Then me and the gambler couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee We jerked our guns, 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 never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud Well I got it lonesome as a man can be Dreaming on my girl in Tennessee Tennessee stud green eyes turned blue Cause he was a dreaming of a sweetheart too Then we loaked on back across Arkansas I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa Found that girl with the golden hair She was a riding on a Tennessee Mare Stir up the stir up inside the sack Across the mountains and the valleys wild Came to big muddy and we forded a flood On a Tennessee mare and a Tennessee stud 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 never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud No, there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
