Molly And Tenbrooks
key=Bb
[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
[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]
BREAK
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
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
[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]

Now Tenbrooks was the youngest horse and Molly was the old
Molly was an old grey mare and he was proud and bold
He was proud and bold O Lord he was proud and bold
Tenbrooks said to Molly, your running your last race
and when I turn my head around, old gal, I'm gonna see your face
I'm gonna see your face, old gal, I'm gonna see your face
Then Molly said to Tenbrooks, don't take me for a fool
If they hadn't clipped your ears off, I'd thought you were a mule
Thought you were a mule O Lord I thought you were a mule
