Molly And Tenbrooks - Ian & Sylvia

Tenbrooks was a bay horse, had a long, shaggy mane

Run all around Memphis, beat the big Memphis train

Run, Tenbrooks, run, if you don’t run

Molly gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun

Bright shinin' sun

The women were weepin', their babes cryin', too

The nine proud horses came a-thunderin' through

With Molly the leader, her head tossin' high

With Molly the leader, and Tenbrooks behind

She came flyin' by

We shouted to Kyper, «You're not ridin' right

Molly’s a-beatin' Tenbrooks from sight

Kyper, oh, Kyper, Kyper, my son

Giv him the bridle, and let Tnbrooks run

Tenbrooks looked at Molly, «Your face is so red

Been runnin' in the hot sun with feverish head

You’re fallin' behind me, I’m out here alone»

Molly says to Tenbrooks, «I'm goin' on home

I’m leavin' this world»

Go fetch your Tenbrooks and tie him in the shade

They’re buryin' Molly in a coffin ready-made

Out in California Molly run as she please

Back in Kentucky got beat with all ease

Got beat with all ease
