Letra de Tennessee Stud

Along about 1825 I left Tennessee very much alive I never would've got through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been a ridin' on the Tennessee Stud. We drifted on down onto no man's land We crossed the river called the Rio Grande I raced my horse with a Spaiard foal Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold. Me and a gambler we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee We jerked our guns he fell with a thud And I got away on the Tennessee Stud. The Tennesee Stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes was green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud. --- Instrumental --- Well, I got just as lonesome as a man could be Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue 'Cause he was a dreamin' of his sweetheart too. We loped right back across Arkansas I whipped her brother and whipped her pa I found that girl with the golden hair And she was a ridin' on the Tennessee Mare. A pretty little boy and the cabin floor A little horse cold playin' round the door I love the girl with the golden hair And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare. The Tennesee Stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes was green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
