Back about 18 and 25 [A] I left Tennessee very much alive.
I [B] never would have made it through the Arkansas [F#] mud if I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee stud.
[B]
Had some [F#] trouble with my sweetheart's pa, [A] one of her brothers was a bad outlaw.
[B] I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fudd and I [F#] rode away on the Tennessee stud.
The Tennessee [A] stud was [B] long and lean, the color of the sun and his [F#] eyes were green.
[B] He had the nerve and he [F#] had the blood, there never was a horse like the [B] Tennessee stud.
[F#] Drifted on down into no man's land, [A] across the river called the Rio Grande.
[B] Raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal, till I got [F#] me a skin full of silver [B] and gold.
Me and the gambler we couldn't agree, [A] we got in a fight over Tennessee.
[F#] I pulled our guns and he fell with a thud and I rode away on the [B] Tennessee stud.
The Tennessee stud [A] was [B] long and lean, the color of the sun [D] and his [F#] eyes were green.
[B] He had the nerve and he had the blood, there never [F#] was a horse like the Tennessee stud.
[B] I rode right back across Arkansas, I whipped her brother and I whipped her pa.
I [B] found that girl with the golden hair, she was riding [F#] on a Tennessee mare.
[B] Pretty little baby on the cabin floor, [A] a little horse cold playing round the door.
[B] I love the girl with the golden hair and the Tennessee [C#] stud loves the [B] Tennessee mare.
The Tennessee [E] stud was [B] long and lean, the color of the [D] sun and his [F#] eyes were green.
[B] He had the nerve and he had the blood, there never was a [F#m] horse like the Tennessee [B] stud.
