Molly and Tenbrooks

Run o molly run, run o molly run
tenbrooks gonna beat you 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 o 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

Tenbrooks said to molly what makes your head so red?
runnin' in the hot sun puts fever in my head

Molly said to tenbrooks you're lookin' mighty squirrel
tenbrooks said to molly i'm a-leavin' this old world
leavin' this old world o lord leavin' this old world
Out in california where molly done as she pleased
come back to old kentucky got beat with all ease

The women all a-laughin' the child'n all a cryin'
the men all a-hollerin' old tenbrooks a-flyin'
old tenbrooks a-flyin' o lord old tenbrooks a-flyin'
Kyper kyper you're not a-ridin' right
molly's beatin' old tenbrooks clear out sight
clear out of sight o lord clear out of sight
Kyper kyper kyper my son

Go and catch old tenbrooks and hitch him in the shade
