[Verse 1]
DAlong about eighteen twenty-five,
I lCeft Tennessee very C6much Calive.
I Dnever would have got through the Arkansas mud
DIf I hadn't been a-ridin' on the TennessAmee DStud. Am D
DI had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa,
And Cone of her brothers was a bad outlaw.C6 C
I Dsent her a letter by my Uncle Bud,
DAnd I rode away on the TennesAmsee DStud. Am D
[chorus]
The DTennessee Stud was long and lean,
The Ccolor of the sun, and his Bb7eyes were gA7reen. Bb7 A7
DHe had the nerve and he had the blood,
DAnd there never was a horse like the TennessAmee DStud.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
DWe drifted on down into no man's land,
We Ccrossed that river called the Rio GrandC6e. C
I Draced my horse with the Spaniard's foal
D'Til I got me a skin full of silAmver and Dgold.Am D
DMe and a gambler, we couldn't agree,
We Cgot in a fight over Tennessee.C6 C
We Djerked our guns, and he fell with a thud,
DAnd I got away on the AmTennessee DStud.Am D
[Chorus]
The DTennessee Stud was long and lean,
The Ccolor of the sun, and his Bb7eyes were gA7reen. Bb7 A7
DHe had the nerve and he had the blood,
DAnd there never was a horse like the TennessAmee DStud.

[Verse 3]
DI got just as lonesome as a man can be,
CDreamin' of my girl in Tennessee.C6 C
The DTennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
D'Cause he was a-dreamin' of a sweetAmheart, Dtoo,Am D
DWe loped right back across Arkansas;
I Cwhupped her brother and I C6whupped her Cpa.
I Dfound that girl with the golden hair,
DAnd she was a-riding on the TennesAmsee DMare. Am D
[chorus]
The DTennessee Stud was long and lean,
The Ccolor of the sun, and his Bb7eyes were gA7reen. Bb7 A7
DHe had the nerve and he had the blood,
DAnd there never was a horse like the TennessAmee DStud.
[Instrumental]

D Am D Am D
[Verse 4]
DStirrup to stirrup and side by side,
We Ccrossed the mountains and the vC6alleys Cwide.
We Dcame to Big Muddy, then we forded the flood
DOn the Tennessee Mare and the TennessAmee DStud. Am D
DA pretty little baby on the cabin floor,
A Clittle horse colt playing 'C6round the dCoor,
I Dlove that girl with the golden hair,
DAnd the Tennessee Stud loves the TennessAmee DMare. Am D
[Chorus]
The DTennessee Stud was long and lean,
The Ccolor of the sun, and his Bb7eyes were A7green. Bb7 A7
DHe had the nerve and he had the blood,
DAnd there never was a horse like the TennessAmee DStud.
