tennessee walking horse - sheb wooley lyrics

Loading...

well it’s a big plantation, and you can tell that he’s the boss
riding ‘round my cotton ground, on a tennessee walking horse
on a tennessee walking horse

i’m just a poor sharecropper’s son, from the delta cotton land
oh how i loved the daughter, of the big boss man
but he said if i even looked at her, he’d surely shoot me down
and he’d plant my bones, some place unknown, in the delta cotton ground

one day i told his daughter, i said jenny i love you true
i’m going to seek my fortune, then i’m comin’ back for you
we heard a step behind us, and i knew it was the boss
he was sittin’ lookin’ down at me, from a tennessee walking horse

well it’s a big plantation, and you can tell that he’s the boss
riding ‘round my cotton ground, on a tennessee walking horse
on a tennessee walking horse

well he drew his deadly pistol, then he tied me with a rope
drug me ‘round the cotton ground, riding at a lope
i could hear him cussin’ me, i could hear my jenny cry
i whispered goodbye darling, but i sure do hate to die

then the rope caught on his haunches, and the old horse came unwound
buckin’ and a kicking, threw the big man down
then the hooves of steel hit him, and he paid the final cost
and i thank the lord for jenny, and that tennessee walking horse
well it’s a big plantation, and you can tell that i’m the boss
riding ‘round my cotton ground on my tennessee walking horse
on my tennessee walking horse
