Tennessee Stud (feat. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)

'Long about 18 and 25, I left Tennessee very much alive I never would have made it through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been a-ridin that Tennessee stud I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa One of her brothers was a bad apple I wrote a letter to my uncle Fud And I rode away on the Tennessee stud The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour 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 We drifted on down into no man's land We crossed that river called the Rio Grande I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal 'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold Well, me and the gambler we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee And we pulled our guns, and he fell with a thud And I rode away on the Tennessee stud The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour 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 (Ha-ha-ha-ha) We rode right back across Arkansas I whooped her brother and I whooped her pa I found that girl with the golden hair She was ridin' on a Tennessee mare Well, pretty little baby on the cabin floor A little horse colt playin' 'round the door Mm, I love the girl with the golden hair And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour 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 The Tennessee stud was long and lean The colour 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
