Now, long about eighteen twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
And I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a ridin' the Tennessee Stud

We drifted on down to no man's land
And I crossed that river called the Rio Grande.
I raced my horse with the Spaniard's foal
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Chorus:
Oh, the Tennessee Stud was a' long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
But there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

Now me and a gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud

Well, I got as lonesome as a man can be
Just a'dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
And the Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was a'dreaming of a sweetheart, too.

Chorus:
Yeh, the Tennessee Stud was a' long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve; he had the blood
But there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
