Tennessee Stud
Riding Through Love and Strife: Tennessee Stud's Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
Along about 18-and-25 I left Tennessee very much alive
At the age of 18 to 25, I left Tennessee and survived the journey.
I never would've got through the Arkansas mud
I could only navigate the muddy terrain in Arkansas because I was riding the Tennessee Stud.
If I hadn't been a ridin' on the Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud helped me overcome obstacles, especially the Arkansas mud.
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa one of his brothers was a bad outlaw
I faced issues with my sweetheart's father, who had outlaw brothers.
I send her a letter by my Uncle Fudd and I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
I sent a letter through my Uncle Fudd and fled on the Tennessee Stud.
We drifted on down onto no man's land we crossed the river called the Rio Grande
We traveled into unknown territory and crossed the Rio Grande.
I raced my horse with a Spaiard foal till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
I raced my horse against a Spanish foal, gaining wealth in silver and gold.
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree we got in a fight over Tennessee
A disagreement with a gambler led to a fight over Tennessee.
We jerked our guns he fell with a thud and I got away on the Tennessee Stud
We had a shootout; he fell, allowing me to escape on the Tennessee Stud.
(The Tennesee Stud was long and lean the color of the sun and his eyes were green
(Description of the Tennessee Stud's appearance and characteristics.)
He had the nerve and he had the blood
The horse possessed courage and noble lineage.
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud)
Emphasis on the uniqueness of the Tennessee Stud.
Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
Feeling lonely, thinking about my girl in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
The Tennessee Stud's eyes turned blue, indicating its emotional connection.
Cause he was dreamin' of his sweetheart too
The horse shared my sentiment by dreaming of its sweetheart.
We loped right back across Arkansas I whipped her brother and whipped her pa
We returned to Arkansas, overcoming challenges and defeating her relatives.
I found that girl with the golden hair ss she was a ridin' on the Tennessee Mare
Found my golden-haired girl riding the Tennessee Mare.
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side we crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
Together, we crossed mountains and valleys.
We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood
We navigated Big Muddy and forded the flood.
And the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud triumphed together.
A pretty little baby and the cabin floor a little horse cold playin' round the door
Describes a scene with a baby and a horse playing near the cabin.
I love the girl with the golden hair and the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
Expresses love for the girl with the golden hair and mutual affection between the Tennessee Stud and Mare.
(The Tennesee Stud was long and lean...
(Reiteration of the Tennessee Stud's characteristics.)
