Tennessee Stud (Jackie Brown)
215. Tennessee Stud (Jackie Brown) page 1
B (I) Back about eighteen and twenty five I [A] left Tennessee very much alive
B (I) I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding on the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud
B (I) Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
[A] One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
B (I) I wrote a letter to my uncle Spud
And I rode away on the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud
Chorus: The B (I) Tennessee Stud was [A] long and B (I) lean
The E (IV) color of the sun and his [D] eyes were F# (V) green
B (I) He had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud
B (I) Drifted on down into no man's land
[A] Across the river called the Rio Grande
B (I) Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
'Til I got me a skin full of F# (V) silver and B (I) gold
B (I) Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
We [A] got in a fight over Tennessee
B (I) Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud
And I rode away on a F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud

Chorus
B (I) I rode right back across Arkansas
I [A] whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa
B (I) I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a F# (V) Tennessee B (I) mare
B (I) Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
[A] Little horse colt playing round the door
B (I) I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) mare
Chorus
