Song Lyrics:

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 (I B Emerson)
