A
[Verse]
A
Back about eighteen and twenty-five
G
I left Tennessee very much alive
A
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
E A
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud
A
Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
G
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
A
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fudd
E A
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
[Chorus]
A G A
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
D C E
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the blood
E A
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
[Verse]
A
Drifted on down into no man's land
G
Across the river called the Rio Grande
A
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
E A
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
A
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
G
We got in a fight over Tennessee
A
Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud
E A
And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud
[Chorus]
A G A
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
D C E
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the blood
E A
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
[Verse]
A
I rode right back across Arkansas
G
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
A
I found that girl with the golden hair
E A
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare
A
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
G
Little horse colt playing round the door
A
I loved the girl with the golden hair
E A
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
[Chorus]
A G A
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
D C E
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the blood
E A
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
