Along about 1825 [C] I left Tennessee very much alive
_ [D] I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin' [Am] on the [D] Tennessee stud
_ _ I had some trouble with my sweetheart's [C] paw
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I [D] sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd
And I rode away [Am] on the Tennessee [D] stud
_ _ The Tennessee [C] stud was [D] long and lean
[G] The color of [Bb] the sun in his eyes [A] were green
_ [D] He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
_ _ We _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [D] _ drifted on down into no man's land
[C] We crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I [D] raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
Till I got me a [Am] skin full of [D] silver and gold
[Am] _ [D] _ Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
[C] We got in a fight over Tennessee _
[D] We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ [D] _ I got just as lonesome as a man can [C] be
Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee _
[D] The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was [Am] a-dreaming of a sweetheart [D] too
_ [Am] [D] We loped right back across Arkansas
[C] I whooped her brother and I whooped her paw _
I [D] found that girl with the golden hair
And she was [Am] a-riding on [D] the Tennessee mare

On the Tennessee mare and [Am] the Tennessee [D] stud
[Am] _
[D] _ I heard a little baby on the cabin [C] floor
A little horse caught playing around the door
[D] I loved that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud [Am] loved the [D] Tennessee mare
