Tennessee Stud Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

Back about 1825 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 his brothers was a bad outlaw 

I send her a letter by my Uncle Fudd 

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud 

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 horse like the Tennessee Stud

We drifted on down onto no man's land 

We crossed the river called the Rio Grande 

I raced my horse with a Spaiard 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 

Well I got just as lonesome as a man can be 

Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee 

The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue 

Cause he was dreaming of his sweetheart, too 

We loped right back across Arkansas 

I whipped her brother and whipped her pa 

I found that girl with the golden hair 

And she was a riding on the Tennessee Mare

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 horse like the Tennessee Stud 

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 

And the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud 

A pretty little baby and the cabin floor 

A little horse cold playin' round the door 

And I love the girl with the golden hair 

And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare 

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 horse like the Tennessee Stud
