Billy Strings - Tennessee stud

^DAlong about eighteen twenty-five I ^Cleft Tennessee barely half alive I nev^Der would've got through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been riding on the ^CTennessee ^DStud

^DHad some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa ^COne of her brothers was a bad outlaw ^DI sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd And I rode away on the ^CTennessee ^DStud

The ^DTennessee Stud was ^Clong and ^Dlean The ^Gcolor of the sun and his ^Feyes were ^A7green ^DHe had the nerve and ^Che had the ^Dblood STRUM MUTED STRINGS D There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

^DWe drifted on down into no man's land We ^Ccrossed that river called the Rio Grande ^DI raced my horse with the Spaniard's fole Til I got me a skin full of ^Csilver and ^Ggold

^DMe and the gambler, we couldn't agree We ^Cgot in a fight over Tennessee We ^Djerked our guns and he fell with a thud And I rode away on the ^CTennessee ^DStud

The ^DTennessee Stud was ^Clong and ^Dlean The ^Gcolor of the sun and his ^Feyes were ^A7green ^DHe had the nerve and ^Che had the ^Dblood STRUM MUTED STRINGS D There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

I ^Dgot just as lonesome as a man can be ^CDream’n of my girl in Tennessee The ^DTennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue Cause he was a dreamin of hi^Cs sweethear^Dt too

^DWe loped right back across Arkansas I ^Cwhipped her brother and I whipped her Pa I ^Dfound that girl with the golden hair And she was riding on th^Ce Tennesse^De Mare

The ^DTennessee Stud was ^Clong and ^Dlean The ^Gcolor of the sun and his ^Feyes were ^A7green ^DHe had the nerve and ^Che had the ^Dblood STRUM MUTED STRINGS D There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

^DStirrup to stirrup and side by side, We ^Ccrossed the mountains and the valleys wide. We ^Dcame to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood On the Tennessee Mare and the ^ATennessee ^DStud.

^DThere's a pretty little baby on the cabin floor ^CLittle horse colt playing round the door I ^Dloved that girl with the golden hair And the Tennessee Stud loves the ^ATennessee ^DMare

The ^DTennessee Stud was ^Clong and ^Dlean The ^Gcolor of the sun and his ^Feyes were ^A7green ^DHe had the nerve and ^Che had the ^Dblood STRUM MUTED STRINGS D There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
