Song information
Artist: Eddy Arnold Album: Thereby Hangs A Tale
Lyrics
Well there never was a horse like tennessee stud
Along about eighteen twenty five 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
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa One of her brothers was a bad outlaw I sent her a letter by my uncle fudd And I rode away on the tennessee stud
Chorus The tennesee stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a hoss like the tennessee stud
Guitar solo
We drifted on down into no man's land We crossed the river called the rio grande I raced my horse with a spaniard 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
Chorus
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 whoopped her brother and whopped her pa I found that girl with the golden hair As she was a ridin' on the tennessee mare
Chorus
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide We came to big muddy and we forded the flood On the tennessee mare and the tennessee stud
A pretty little baby on the cabin floor A frisky little colt playin' 'round the door I loved the girl with the golden hair And the tennessee stud loved the tennessee mare
Chorus
