Verse 1
(D major) Jimmy Driftwood said his grandfather
told him a couple of tales
that he put together and made this song from
about a mighty Tennessee horse
called the Tennessee Stud.
(C major) Sprung a (D major) wire that time, I'm have fix that. Good,
okay.
Along about 1825,
(C major) I left Tennessee very much alive
I (D major) never would have gone through
the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a -ridin'
on the (A major) Tennessee (D major) stud
I had some trouble with
my sweetheart's call
One of her (C major) brothers was a bad outlaw
I (D major) sent her a letter by my uncle's foot
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud looked
(C major) long (D major) and mean
the color of the sun and (B flat major) his eyes so (A major) green
he (D major) had the nerve and (C major) he had the (D major) blood
and the devil was a hoss like the tennessee
star (A major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
(C major) (D major)
So we drifted on down in
the no -man's land
(C major) Across that river called the Rio Grande
I (D major) raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
Till he got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler, couldn't agree
We got in a (C major) fight over Tennessee
We (D major) jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee studs were
(C major) long and (D major) lean,
The color of the sun in his eyes was (A major) green.
He (D major) had the nerve and (C major) he had the (D major) blood,
And he never was a hoss
like the Tennessee stud.
I got just as lonesome
as a man can be,
(C major) Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee.
The (D major) Tennessee studs' green
eyes turned blue,
cause he was a dreamin' of
a sweetheart too.
You did it, fella. (A major)
(D major) So we looked right back across Arkansas.
I (C major) beat up her brother
and I had to slap her paw.
And when I (D major) found that gal with
the golden hair,
she was a ridin' on
the Tennessee mare.
Whoa, boy.
The Tennessee studs were
(C major) long (D major) and lean,
the color of the sun in (A major) his eyes was green.
We (D major) had the nerve
and (C major) the hee and (D major) the what
And the devil wore the horse
like the Tennessee stud
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We (C major) crossed the mountains and
the valleys wide
We (D major) came to Big Muddy then
we thwarted a flood
On the Tennessee mare and
the Tennessee stud
A little baby on the cabin floor,
a (C major) little horsepoke playing around the door.
I (D major) loved that gal with the golden hair,
and the Tennessee stud
loved the Tennessee man.
The Tennessee stud was (C major) long an (D major) d lean,
the color of the sun
and his eyes were (A major) green.
(D major) He had the nerve and (C major) he had the (D major) blood,
and there never was a horse
like the Tennessee Please (D major) die.
Tennessee Stud
