Tennessee Stud

     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       
    if I hadn't been riding on the 
A
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 
Spud,
                 E       A
    and I rode away on the Tennessee
 Stud.

     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 the 
Tennessee Stud.

     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     
    til' I got me a skin full of 
    A
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.

blood,
                    E        A
there never was a horse like the 
Tennessee Stud.

       A
    I rode right back across 
Arkansas,
        G
    I whipped her brother and I 
whipped 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 love the girl with the golden 
hair,
                       E      A
    and the Tennessee Stud loves the
 Tennessee Mare.
