Molly & Tenbrooks

Molly &Tenbrooks -Bill Monroe
Run oh Molly run run oh Molly run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you
Bright shinin'sun
To the bright shinin'sun
Oh 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
Oh 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
Oh Lord strainin'every nerve
Out in California where Molly
Done as she pleased
Come back to old Kentucky
Got beat with all ease
Beat with all ease oh Lord beat with all ease
Kyper Kyper you're not a-ridin'right
Molly's beatin'old Tenbrooks
Clear out of sight
Clear out of sight
Oh Lord clear out of sight
Kyper Kyper Kyper my son
Give old Tenbrooks the bridle
Let old Tenbrooks run
Let old Tenbrooks run
Oh Lord let old Tenbrooks run
The womens all a-laughin'
The children all a-cryin'
Mens all a-hollerin'old Tenbrooks a-flyin'
Old Tenbrooks a-flyin'
Oh Lord old Tenbrooks a-flyin'
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
Let old Tenbrooks run
Oh Lord let old Tenbrooks run
