Loading...

[verse 1]
run, old molly, run; run, old molly, run
tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright shinin’ sun
to the bright shinin’ sun, oh lord, to the bright shinin’ sun

[verse 2]
tenbrooks was a big bay horse; he wore that sh+ggy mane
he run all ’round memphis; he beat the memphis train
beat the memphis train, oh lord, beat the memphis train

[fiddle solo]

[verse 3]
tenbrooks said to molly, “what made your head so red?”
“runnin’ in the hot sun with fever in my head
fever in my head, oh lord, fever in my head”

[verse 4]
molly said to tenbrooks, “you’re lookin’ mighty squirrel”
tenbrooks said to molly, “i’m leavin’ this old world
leavin’ this old world, oh lord, leavin’ this old world”

[banjo solo]

[verse 5]
out in california where molly done as she please
come back to old kentucky, got beat with all ease
beat with all ease, oh lord, beat with all ease
[verse 6]
the women’s all a+laughin’; the children all a+cryin’
the men’s all a+hollerin’; old tenbrooks a+flyin’
old tenbrooks a+flyin’, oh lord, old tenbrooks a+flyin’

[fiddle solo]

[verse 7]
kyper, kyper, you’re not ridin’ right
molly’s a+beatin’ old tenbrooks clear out of sight
clear out of sight, oh lord, clear out of sight

[verse 8]
kyper, kyper, kyper, my son
give old tenbrooks the bridle, and let old tenbrooks run
let old tenbrooks run, oh lord, let old tenbrooks run

[banjo solo]

[verse 9]
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, oh lord, coffin ready+made
