V#1 Along about eighteen twenty five I left Tennessee very much alive And I never would got through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been a-riding that Tennessee stud V#2 I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw One of her brothers was a bad outlaw I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud Then I rode away on the Tennessee stud The Tennessee Stud was long and mean The color of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud V#3 We drifted on down into no man's land And crossed that river called the Rio Grande I raced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold V#4 Me and the gambler we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud And I got away on the Tennessee stud V#5 Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be A-dreaming of my girl in Tennessee The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue Cause he was dreaming bout his sweetheart too V#6 We loped right back across Arkansas I whooped her brother and I whooped her Paw When I found that girl with the golden hair She was a-riding that Tennessee mare Repeat Chorus:
