Molly and Tenbrooks
Lyrics:
Run O Molly run, run O Molly run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the
bright shinin' sun
To the bright shinin' sun O 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 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
Strainin' every nerve O Lord strainin' every
nerve
Tenbrooks said to Molly what makes your head so red?
Runnin' in the hot sun puts fever in my head
Fever in my head O Lord
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
Beat with all ease O Lord 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
Give old
Tenbrooks the bridle let old Tenbrooks run
Let old Tenbrooks run O
Lord let old Tenbrooks run
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 O Lord coffin ready made
