(Speak this intro gradually going into singing on ...the Tennessee stud part)
Well there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
V#1
GAlong about eighteen twenty five
I Fleft Tennessee very much alive
And I Gnever would got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-riding that D7Tennessee Gstud
V#2
I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw
One Fof her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent Gher a letter by my Uncle Fud
Then I rode away on the D7Tennessee Gstud
Chorus:
The Tennessee Stud was Flong and Gmean
The Ccolor of the sun and his A7eyes were D7green
GHe had the nerve and Fhe had the Gblood
And there never was a horse like the D7Tennessee Gstud
V#3
We drifted on down into no man's land
And Fcrossed that river called the Rio Grande
I Graced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal
Till I got me a skin full of D7silver and Ggold
V#4
Me and the gambler we couldn't agree
We Fgot in a fight over Tennessee
We Gjerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the D7Tennessee Gstud
V#5
Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be
A-Fdreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The GTennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was dreaming bout his D7sweetheart Gtoo
V#6
We loped right back across Arkansas
I Fwhooped her brother and I whooped her Paw
When GI found that girl with the golden hair
She was a-riding that D7Tennessee Gmare
Repeat Chorus:
V#7
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We Fcrossed them mountains and the valleys wide
We Gcame to big muddy and then we forded a flood
On the Tennessee Mare and the D7Tennessee Gstud
V#8
There's a pretty little girl on the cabin floor
And a Flittle horse colt laying on the floor
I Glove that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the D7Tennessee Gmare
Repeat Chorus and end:
