Tennessee Stud

De vuelta alrededor de dieciocho y veinticincoBack about eighteen and twenty-five
Me fui de Tennessee muy vivoI left Tennessee very much alive
Nunca hubiera atravesado el barro de ArkansasI never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
Si no hubiera estado montando en el Tennessee StudIf I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud

Tuve problemas con el padre de mi noviaHad some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
Uno de sus hermanos era un mal forajidoOne of her brothers was a bad outlaw
Escribí una carta a mi tío Spud YI wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And
Me fui en el Tennessee StudI rode away on the Tennessee Stud

El Tennessee Stud era largo y delgadoThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean
El color del sol y sus ojos eran verdesThe color of the sun and his eyes were green
Tenía el valor y la sangreHe had the nerve and he had the blood
Nunca hubo un caballo como Tennessee StudThere never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

A la deriva hacia la tierra de nadieDrifted on down into no man's land
Al otro lado del río llamado el Río GrandeAcross the river called the Rio Grande
Corrió mi caballo con el enemigo del españolRaced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
Hasta que me di una piel llena de plata y oroTil I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Yo y el jugador, no podíamos estar de acuerdoMe and the gambler, we couldn't agree
Nos peleamos por TennesseeWe got in a fight over Tennessee
Sacó nuestras armas y cayó con un ruidoPulled our guns and he fell with a thud
Y me fui en un Tennessee StudAnd I rode away on a Tennessee Stud

El Tennessee Stud era largo y delgadoThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean
El color del sol y sus ojos eran verdesThe color of the sun and his eyes were green
Tenía el valor y la sangreHe had the nerve and he had the blood
Nunca hubo un caballo como el Tennessee StudThere was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud

Volví a través de ArkansasI rode right back across Arkansas
Golpeé a su hermano yI whipped her brother and
Le azoté a su papáI whipped her Pa
Encontré a esa chica con el pelo doradoI found that girl with the golden hair
Estaba montando en una yegua de TennesseeShe was riding on a Tennessee Mare

Bonito bebé en el piso de la cabinaPretty little baby on the cabin floor
Pequeño caballo potro jugando alrededor de la puertaLittle horse colt playing round the door
Me encantó la chica con el pelo doradoI loved the girl with the golden hair
Y el semental de Tennessee ama a la yegua de TennesseeAnd the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

El Tennessee Stud era largo y delgadoThe Tennessee Stud was long and lean
El color del sol y sus ojos eran verdesThe color of the sun and his eyes were green
Tenía el valor y la sangreHe had the nerve and he had the blood
Nunca hubo un caballo como el Tennessee StudThere was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud
