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
