A-(E)long about eighteen twenty five
I (D)left Tennessee very much alive
I (E)never would have forded the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a riding on the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud

I (E)had a little trouble with my sweetheart's pa
And (D)one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I (E)sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd
Then I rode away on the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud

The (E)Tennessee stud was long and lean mean
The (A)color of the sun and his | (C)eyes were (B)green | (A) (G) |2/4(F#) |
4/4(E)He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud

We (E)drifted on down into no man's land
We (D)crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I (E)raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
Til I got me a skin full of 2/4(D)silver and 4/4(E)gold

(E)Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
We (D)got in a fight over Tennessee
We (E)jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud  | (E)  |

Well, I (D)got just as lonesome as a man can be
(C)Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The (D)Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a dreaming of his 2/4(C)sweetheart 4/4(D)too

We (D)loped right back across Arkansas
I (C)whopped her brother and I whopped her pa
I (D)found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a riding on the 2/4(C)Tennessee 4/4(D)Mare

The (D)Tennessee stud was long and lean mean
The (G)color of the sun and his | (Bb)eyes were (A)green | (G) (F) |2/4(E) |
4/4(D)He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the 2/4(C)Tennessee 4/4(D)Stud  | (D)  |

Inst.:  | (E)  | (E)  | (E)  |2/4(E) |4/4(E)  | (D)  |

(E)Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We (D)crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We (E)came to Big Muddy then forded the flood
On the Tennessee Mare and the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud

(E)Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
A (D)little horse colt playing round the door
(E)I love that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Mare

The (E)Tennessee stud was long and lean mean
The (A)color of the sun and his | (C)eyes were (B)green | (A) (G) |2/4(F#) |
4/4(E)He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the 2/4(D)Tennessee 4/4(E)Stud | (E)  |
