Tennessee Stud chords by Doc Watson
Verse 1
D
C
Along about 1825 I left
Tennessee very much alive
D
I never would have got through the
Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a -ridin' on the
A
D
Tennessee studs
I had some trouble with
my sweetheart's paw
C
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
D
I sent her a letter by my uncle's foot
And I rode away on the
Tennessee stud
The
Tennessee stud was long and lean
G
The color of the sun and
Bb
A
his eyes were green
D
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
stud
We drifted on down into no man's land
C
We crossed that river called the
Rio
Grande
D
I raced my horse with a
Spaniard's foal, till I got me
a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree,
C
we got in a fight over
Tennessee
D
We jerked our gun, then he fell with a thud,
and I got away on the
Tennessee stud
The
Tennessee stud was long and lean,
G
Bb
A
the color of the sun in his eyes were green
D
He had my nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stud I got just as lonesome as
a man can be
C
Dreamin' of my girl in
Tennessee
The
D
Tennessee
Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was a -dreamin' of
A
D
A
a sweetheart, too
D
We loped right back across
Arkansas
C
I whooped her brother and
I whooped her paw
D
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a -ridin' on the
Tennessee mare
The
C
D
Tennessee stud was long and lean
G
A
The color of the sun in his eyes were green
D
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stub
Stare up to stare up and side by side
C
We crossed the mountains and
the valleys wide
D
We came to
Big
Muddy then we forded the flood
On the
Tennessee mare and the
Tennessee
Stub
A pretty little baby on the cabin floor
C
A little horse caught playin' around the door
D
I loved that girl with the golden hair
And the
Tennessee stud loves a
Tennessee man
The
C
D
Tennessee stud was long and lean
G
Bb
A
The color of the sun in his eyes was green
D
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
A
D
Tennessee stud
You
Tennessee Stud
