Chris LeDoux - Tennessee Stud

Along about eighteen twenty fiveI left Tennessee very much aliveI never would have forded the Arkansas mudIf I hadn't been a riding on the Tennessee StudI had some trouble with my sweetheart's paOne of her brothers was a bad outlawI sent her a letter by my Uncle FuddAnd I rode away on the Tennessee StudThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean meanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodAnd there never was a horse like the Tennessee StudWe drifted on down into no man's landWe crossed the river called the Rio GrandeI raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal'Til I got me a skin full of silver and goldMe and a gambler we couldn't agreeWe got in a fight over TennesseeWe jerked our guns and he fell with a thudAnd I got away on the Tennessee StudWell, I got as lonesome as a man can beDreaming of my girl in TennesseeThe Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue'Cause he was a dreaming of his sweetheart tooWe loped right back across ArkansasI whupped her brother and I whupped her paI found that girl with the golden hairAnd she was a riding on the Tennessee MareThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean meanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodAnd there never was a horse like the Tennessee StudStirrup to stirrup and side by sideWe crossed the mountains and the valleys wideWe came to Big Muddy and forded the floodOn the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee StudPretty little baby on the cabin floorA little horse colt playing 'round the doorI love the girl with the golden hairAnd the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee MareThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean meanThe color of the sun and his eyes were greenHe had the nerve and he had the bloodAnd there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
