D
Along about eighteen twenty five
C
I left Tennessee very much alive
D
And I never would got through the Arkansas mud
C D
If I hadn't been a-ridin that Tennessee Stud
I had me some trouble with my sweetheart's Paw
One o' her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
Then I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
Chorus:
D C D
The Tennesee Stud was long and mean
?F? C D
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
(D) C D
He had the nerve and he had the blood
(D) C D
And there never was a horse like The Tennesee Stud
We drifted on down inta no man's land
And crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I raced my hoss with a Spaniard's foal
'Til 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
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud
Chorus
Well I got just as lonesome as a man could be
A-dreamin of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was dreamin bout his sweetheart too
We loped right back across Arkansas
I whooped her brother and I whooped her Paw
When I found that girl with the golden hair
She was a-ridin that Tennessee Mare
Ad lib Whoa Boy
Chorus
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed them mountains and the valleys wide
We came to big muddy and then we forded a flood
On the Tennesee Mare and the Tennessee Stud
There's a prety little girl on the cabin floor
And a little horse colt layin on the floor
I love that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennesee stud loves the Tennessee Mare
Ad lib They're good horses
Chorus

I'm pretty sure the chords in the chorus are
right. It's in a different key than the
version that I know. I do the song in B.
That's how Johnny Cash plays it. at the
end of each verse and chorus, when he sings
the words Tennessee Stud, I'm pretty sure
it's an A chord on the word Tennessee, than
D on the word Stud.
D
Back about 18 and 25
C
I left Tennessee very much alive
D
I never woulve made it thru the Arkansas mud
A D
If I hadnt been ridin on the Tennessee Stud
CHORUS:
D C D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
F G A
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
D C D
He had the nerve and he had the blood
A
There never was a horse like the Tennessee
D
Stud.
I can't remember if it would be the F before
the G, or the G before the F. I'll have to
find the song in my collection to see, it.
Overall, it is a good tab.

Good tab, good lyrics. Two of the verses
Johnny Cash doesn't use, but I use all of
the ones you have here, in the same order,
and the choruses all come in the exact same
places that I sing them.
