Johnny Cash Tennessee Stud Lyrics:
Back about eighteen and twenty-five,
I left Tennessee very much alive.
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud,
If I hadn't been ridin' on the Tennessee Stud.

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa,
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw.
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fud,
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean.
The color of the sun and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood.
There never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud.

Drifted on down into no-man's land,
Across the river called the Rio Grande.
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe,
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold.

Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree,
We got in a fight over Tennessee.
Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud,
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
The color of the sun and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood.
There was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud.

I rode right back acrost Arkansas,
I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa.
I found that girl with the golden hair,
She was ridin' on a Tennessee Mare.

Purdy little baby on the cabin floor.
A little hoss colt playing 'round the door.
I loved the girl with the golden hair,
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean.
The color of the sun and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood.
There was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud.
