Molly And Tenbrooks Lyrics - Storyteller Poet Philosopher - Tom T. Hall

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
