Tennessee Stud - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by：Jimmy Driftwood/Jimmy Drift

Back about eighteen and twenty-five

I left Tennessee very much alive

I never would have made it through the Arkansas mud

If I hadn't been a-riding on the Tennessee Stud

I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa

One of her brothers was a bad outlaw

I wrote a letter to my Uncle 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

And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

I drifted on down into no man's land

I crossed the river called the Rio Grande

I raced my horse with the Spaniards bold

'Til I got me a skinful of silver and gold

Me and a gambler we couldn't agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee

We pulled our guns 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

And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

I rode right back across Arkansas

And I whupped her brother and I whupped her pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

And she was a-riding on a Tennessee Mare

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

And a little horse colt playing 'round the door

I love 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

And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
