Tennessee Stud (Live) lyrics by Johnny Cash

Back about 18 and 25 i left tennessee very much alive
I never woulda made it through the arkansas mud if i hadn't been ridin on a tennessee stud.

Had some trouble with my sweethearts pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I wrote a letter to my uncle fud
And i rode away on the tennessee stud

(chorus)
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 there never was a hoss like the tennessee stud

Drifted on down into no mans land across the river called the rio grande
Raced my hoss with a spainerds foul till i got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and the gambler we couldnt agree we got inna fight over tennessee

We pulled our guns and he fell with a thud and i road away on the tennessee stud

(Chorus)

I rode right back across arkansas
I whooped her brother and i whooped her pa

I found that girl that girl with the golden hair and she was ridin on a tennessee mare

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor lil hoss colt playing round the door
I love the girl with the golden hair and the tennessee stud loves the tennessee mare

(chorus)
