Well, along about 1825, [Eb] I left Tennessee, barely half alive.
And [F] I never would have got through the Arkansas, but if I hadn't been [Eb] riding on the [F] Tennessee
Stud, I had some trouble with my [Eb] sweetheart's pa.
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw, [Bb] [F] sent her a letter by my uncle Thud, and then I
rode [Eb] away on the [F] Tennessee Stud.
Oh, the Tennessee [Bb] Stud [Ab] was [Bb] long and lean, the color of the [Abm] sun in his [Gm] eyes were [C] green.
[F] He had the [Ab] nerve and [Dm] he had the blood, and [Ab] never was a horse like the Tennessee [F] Stud.

[F] [Eb] [F]
Well we drifted on down into no man's [Eb] land, crossed that river called the Rio Grande.
[F] I raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal, till I got me a [Eb] skin full of [F] silver and gold.
Me and the gambler, we [Gm] couldn't agree, [Eb] got in a fight over Tennessee.
[F] We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud, and I rode away [Eb] on the [F] Tennessee Stud.
Oh, the [Bb] Tennessee [Eb] Stud was [Bb] long and lean, the color of [Ab] the sun in [C] his eyes were green.
[F] He [Bb] had the nerve [Ab] and he [F] had the [Gb] blood, and never was a horse like the [F] Tennessee Stud.
[Eb] [F]
[Gm] [F] I got just as lonesome as a man [Bb] could [Eb] be, dreaming of my girl in Tennessee.
[F] And the Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue, cause he [Eb] was dreaming of a [F] sweetheart too.
We loafed right back across Arkansas, [Eb] I whooped her brother and I whooped her paw.
[F] Went and found that girl with the golden hair, she was riding [Eb] on the [F] Tennessee mare.
Oh, the Tennessee [Ab] Stud was [Bb] long and lean, the color of the sun [Eb] in his [C] eyes were green.
He [Bb] had the [Ab] nerve and [F] he had the [Ab] blood, [G] and never was a horse like [F] the Tennessee Stud.

Well, stirrup to stirrup and side by [Eb] side, we crossed the mountains and valleys wide.
[F] We came to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood on the Tennessee [Eb] mare and the [F] Tennessee Stud.
There's a pretty little baby on the cabin [Bb] floor, [Eb] a little horse colt laying round the door.
[F] I love that girl with the golden hair, and the [Gm] Tennessee Stud loves the [F] Tennessee mare.
Oh, the Tennessee [Ab] Stud was [Bb] long and lean, the color of the sun [Ebm] in his [C] eyes were green.
[F] He [Gm] had the nerve and he had the [Ebm] blood, and never was a horse like the [G] Tennessee Stud.
