Ian & Sylvia — Molly and Tenbrooks

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] We shouted to Kyper, "You're not ridin' right Molly's a-beatin' Tenbrooks from sight Kyper, oh, Kyper, Kyper, my son Givе him the bridle, and let Tеnbrooks run [Banjo Solo] [Verse 4] 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" [Verse 5] 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
