Molly And Tenbrooks

Molly And Tenbrooks - Bill Monroe

Run o molly run run o molly run

Ten brooks gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun

To the bright shinin' sun o lord to the bright shinin' sun

Ten brooks 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

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

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

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'

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
