Back about eighteen and twenty-five  
I left Tennessee very much alive  
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud  
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud  
  
Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa  
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw  
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And  
I rode away on the Tennessee Stud  
On a Tennessee Stud  
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 horse like Tennessee Stud  
  
Drifted on down into no man's land  
Across the river called the Rio Grande Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe  
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold  
  
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree  
We got in a fight over Tennessee Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud  
And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud  
  
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 was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud  
  
I rode right back across Arkansas  
I whipped her brother and  
I whipped her Pa  
I found that girl with the golden hair  
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare  
  
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor  
Little horse colt playing round the door  
I loved the girl with the golden hair  
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare  
  
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 was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud
