Molly and Tenbrooks — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

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
