Molly And Tenbrooks

(专辑： The Magnificent Music Machine - 1976)

Run O Molly run, run O Molly run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright shining sun
To the bright shining sun O Lord to the bright shining 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-coming it's coming round the curve
See old Tenbrooks running he's straining every nerve
Straining every nerve O Lord straining every nerve

Tenbrooks said to Molly what makes your head so red?
Running 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 looking mighty squirrel
Tenbrooks said to Molly I'm a-leaving this old world
Leaving this old world O Lord leaving 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-laughing the child'n all a crying
The men all a-hollering old Tenbrooks a-flying
Old Tenbrooks a-flying O Lord old Tenbrooks a-flying

Kyper Kyper you're not a-riding right
Molly's beating 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
