Version 1[Intro] A [Verse] A Back about eighteen and twenty-five G I left Tennessee very much alive A I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud E A If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud A Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa G One of her brothers was a bad outlaw A I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fudd E A And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud [Chorus] A G A The Tennessee Stud was long and lean D C E The color of the sun and his eyes were green A He had the nerve and he had the blood E A There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud [Verse] A Drifted on down into no man's land G Across the river called the Rio Grande A Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe E A 'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold A Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree G We got in a fight over Tennessee A Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud E A And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud [Chorus] A G A The Tennessee Stud was long and lean D C E The color of the sun and his eyes were green A He had the nerve and he had the blood E A There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud [Verse] A I rode right back across Arkansas G I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa A I found that girl with the golden hair E A She was riding on a Tennessee Mare A Pretty little baby on the cabin floor G Little horse colt playing round the door A I loved the girl with the golden hair E A And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare [Chorus] A G A The Tennessee Stud was long and lean D C E The color of the sun and his eyes were green A He had the nerve and he had the blood E A There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
