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 hoss like the Tennessee stud.

More quotes by Jimmy Driftwood

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

The Battle of New Orleans (1936)

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little hoss colt playin' 'round the door
I love the girl with golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare.

Ole Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes.

The Battle of New Orleans (1936)

Along about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin on the Tennessee stud.

Tennessee Stud (1958)

I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was ridin' on a Tennessee mare.
