Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys - Molly & Tenbrooks - 1957 Single Version lyrics
Artist: Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys
album: Anthology
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
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
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
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
