Molly and the Tenbrooks The Osborne Brothers

Run, oh Molly, run; run, oh Molly, run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright, shinin' sun
To the bright, shinin' sun, oh Lord
To the bright, shinin' sun

Tenbrooks was a big bay horse, he rode[?] that shaggy mane
He run all around Memphis, he beat the Memphis train
Beat the Memphis train, oh Lord
Beat the Memphis train

Tenbrooks said to Molly, What made your head so red?
Runnin' in the hot sun with a fever in my head
Fever in my head, oh Lord
Fever in my head

Molly said to Tenbrooks, You're lookin' mighty squirrel
Tenbrooks said to Molly, I'm leavin' this old world
Leavin' this old world, oh 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, oh Lord
Beat with all ease

The women's all a-laughin', the children all a-cryin'
Men all a-hollerin', old Tenbrooks a-flyin'
Old Tenbrooks a-flyin', oh Lord
Old Tenbrooks a-flyin'
