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
