The Race Horse Song |
| 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 |
