Molly and Tenbrooks |
Run, oh Molly run, run, oh Molly run |
Tenbrooks gonna beat you, bright shinin' sun |
To the bright shinin' sun, oh Lord, to the bright shinin' sun |
Tenbrooks was a big bay horse, he wore that shaggy mane |
He run all around Memphis, he beat the Memphis train |
Beat the Memphis train, oh Lord, beat the Memphis train |
See that train a-comin', it’s comin' round the curve |
See old Tenbrooks runnin', he’s strainin' every nerve |
Strainin' every nerve, oh Lord, strainin' every nerve |
Out in California where Molly done as she pleased |
Come back to old Kentucky, got beat with all ease |
Beat with all ease, oh Lord, beat with all ease |
Kyper, Kyper, you’re not a-ridin' right |
Molly’s beatin' old Tenbrooks, clear out of sight |
Clear out of sight, oh Lord, clear out of sight |
Kyper, Kyper, Kyper my son |
Give old Tenbrooks the bridle, let old Tenbrooks run |
Let old Tenbrooks run, oh Lord, let old Tenbrooks run |
The womens all a-laughin', the children all a-cryin' |
Mens all a-hollerin', old Tenbrooks a-flyin' |
Old Tenbrooks a-flyin', oh Lord, old Tenbrooks a-flyin' |
Go and catch old Tenbrooks and hitch him in the shade |
We’re gonna bury old Molly in a coffin ready-made |
Coffin ready-made, oh Lord, coffin ready-made |
Let old Tenbrooks run, oh Lord, let old Tenbrooks run |
