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)
