Molly And Tenbrooks Lyrics - 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
