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
