(Speak this intro gradually going into singing on ...the Tennessee Stud part)
Well, there never was a hoss like the Tennessee Stud
V#1
G Along about eighteen twenty five F I left Tennessee very much alive G And I never would got through the Arkansas mud D7 G If I hadn't been a-riding that Tennessee Stud
V#2
I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw
F One of her brothers was a bad outlaw G I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud D7 G Then I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
Chorus:
F G The Tennessee Stud was long and mean C A7 D7 The color of the sun and his eyes were green G F G He had the nerve and he had the blood D7 G And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
V#3
We drifted on down into no man's land
F And crossed that river called the Rio Grande G I raced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal D7 G Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
V#4
Me and the gambler we couldn't agree
F We got in a fight over Tennessee G We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud D7 G And I got away on the Tennessee Stud
V#5
Well, I got just as lonesome as a man could be F A-dreaming of my girl in Tennessee G The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue D7 G Cause he was dreaming bout his sweetheart too
V#6
We loped right back across Arkansas
F I whooped her brother and I whooped her Paw G When I found that girl with the golden hair D7 G She was a-riding that Tennessee Mare
Chorus:
F G The Tennessee Stud was long and mean C A7 D7 The color of the sun and his eyes were green G F G He had the nerve and he had the blood D7 G And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
V#7
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
F We crossed them mountains and the valleys wide G We came to big muddy and then we forded a flood D7 G On the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
V#8
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
F And a little horse colt playing 'round the door G I love the girl with the golden hair D7 G And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
Chorus:
F G The Tennessee Stud was long and mean C A7 D7 The color of the sun and his eyes were green G F G He had the nerve and he had the blood D7 G And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
