Tennessee Stud

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
If I hadn't been riding on the 
E         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 Fudd
                       E        
And I rode away on the Tennessee 
 A
Stud


[Chorus]

    A                  G        A
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
    D                        C    
The color of the sun and his eyes 
     E
were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the 
blood
There never was a horse like 
E         A
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     
'Til I got me a skin full of silver
     A
 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    
The color of the sun and his eyes 
     E
were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the 
blood
There never was a horse like 
E         A
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
And the Tennessee Stud loves the 
E         A
Tennessee Mare


[Chorus]

    A                  G        A
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
    D                        C    
The color of the sun and his eyes 
     E
were green
A
He had the nerve and he had the 
blood
There never was a horse like 
E         A
Tennessee Stud
