Lyrics Tennessee Stud - Doc Watson
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.
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.
One
day
I
was
riding
in
a
beautiful
land
I
run
smack
into
an
Indian
band
They
jumped
their
nags
with
a
whoop
and
a
yell
And
away
we
rode
like
a
bat
out
of
hell.
I
circled
their
camp
for
a
time
or
two,
Just
to
show
what
a
Tennessee
horse
can
do.
The
redskin
boys
couldn't
get
my
blood,
'Cause
I
was
a-riding
on
the
Tennessee
Stud.
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.
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.
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.
