doc watson - tennessee stud - vanguard version lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
along about eighteen twenty_five
i left tennessee very much alive
i never would have 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
and one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
i sent her a letter by my uncle bud
and i rode away on the tennessee stud

[chours]
the tennessee stud was long and lean
the color of the sun, and his eyes were green
he had the nеrve and he had the blood
and thеre never was a horse like the tennessee stud

[verse 2]
we drifted on down into no man’s land
we crossed that river called the rio grande
i raced my horse with the spaniard’s foal
’til 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, and he fell with a thud
and i got away on the tennessee stud
[chorus]
the tennessee 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 horse like the tennessee stud

[verse 3]
i got just as lonesome as a man can be
dreamin’ of my girl in tennessee
the tennessee stud’s green eyes turned blue
’cause he was a_dreamin’ of a sweetheart, too

we loped right back across arkansas
i whupped her brother and i whupped her pa
i found that girl with the golden hair
and she was a_riding on the tennessee mare

[chorus]
the tennessee 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 horse like the tennessee stud

[verse 4]
stirrup_to_stirrup and side_by_side
we crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
we came to big muddy, then we forded the flood
on the tennessee mare and the tennessee stud
a pretty little baby on the cabin floor
a little horse colt playing ’round the door
i love that girl with the golden hair
and the tennessee stud loves the tennessee mare

[chorus]
the tennessee 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 horse like the tennessee stud
