Molly And Tenbrooks |
| Tenbrooks was a bay horse, had a long, shaggy mane |
| Run all around Memphis, beat the big Memphis train |
| Run, Tenbrooks, run, if you don’t run |
| Molly gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun |
| Bright shinin' sun |
| The women were weepin', their babes cryin', too |
| The nine proud horses came a-thunderin' through |
| With Molly the leader, her head tossin' high |
| With Molly the leader, and Tenbrooks behind |
| She came flyin' by |
| We shouted to Kyper, «You're not ridin' right |
| Molly’s a-beatin' Tenbrooks from sight |
| Kyper, oh, Kyper, Kyper, my son |
| Giv him the bridle, and let Tnbrooks run |
| Tenbrooks looked at Molly, «Your face is so red |
| Been runnin' in the hot sun with feverish head |
| You’re fallin' behind me, I’m out here alone» |
| Molly says to Tenbrooks, «I'm goin' on home |
| I’m leavin' this world» |
| Go fetch your Tenbrooks and tie him in the shade |
| They’re buryin' Molly in a coffin ready-made |
| Out in California Molly run as she please |
| Back in Kentucky got beat with all ease |
| Got beat with all ease |
