Song information
Artist: Bill Monroe

Lyrics
Run o molly run, run o molly run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun
To the bright shinin' sun o lord to the bright shinin' sun
Tenbrooks was a big bay horse he wore that shaggy mane
He run all around memphis he beat the memphis train
Beat the memphis train o lord beat the memphis train
See that train a-comin' it's comin' round the curve
See old tenbrooks runnin' he's strainin' every nerve
Strainin' every nerve o lord strainin' every nerve
Tenbrooks said to molly what makes your head so red?
Runnin' in the hot sun puts fever in my head
Fever in my head o lord fever in my head
Molly said to tenbrooks you're lookin' mighty squirrel
Tenbrooks said to molly I'm a-leavin' this old world
Leavin' this old world o lord leavin' this old world
Out in california where molly done as she pleased
Come back to old kentucky got beat with all ease
Beat with all ease o lord beat with all ease
The women all a-laughin' the child'n all a cryin'
The men all a-hollerin' old tenbrooks a-flyin'
Old tenbrooks a-flyin' o lord old tenbrooks a-flyin'
Kyper kyper you're not a-ridin' right
Molly's beatin' old tenbrooks clear out sight
Clear out of sight o lord clear out of sight
Kyper kyper kyper my son
Give old tenbrooks the bridle let old tenbrooks run
Let old tenbrooks run o lord let old tenbrooks run
Go and catch old tenbrooks and hitch him in the shade
We're gonna bury old molly in a coffin ready made
Coffin ready made o lord coffin ready made
