“Tennessee Stud” - Doc Watson

Verse 1:
D
Along about eighteen twenty-five Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
C
I left Tennessee very much alive One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
D
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud I wrote her a letter by my Uncle Fudd
A D
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

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

Verse 2:
We drifted on down into no man's land Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande We got in a fight over Tennessee
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
’Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

(chorus)

Verse 3:
I got just as lonesome as a man can be I rode right back across Arkansas
Dreamin’ of my girl in Tennessee I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue I found that girl with the golden hair
cause he was a dreamin’ of a sweetheart too And she was riding on a Tennessee Mare

(chorus)

Verse 4:
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side, Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide. Little horse colt playing round the door
We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood I loved that girl with the golden hair
On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud. And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

(chorus)
