Run old Molly, run
Run old Molly, run
Tenbrooks gonna beat you
To the bright shining sun
To the bright shining sun, oh Lord
To the bright shining sun
Tenbrooks was a big bay horse
He wore a shaggy mane
He ran all around in Memphis
And he beat the Memphis train
Beat the Memphis train, oh Lord
Beat the Memphis train
ย
Tenbrooks said to Molly
"What made your head so red?"
"Riding in the hot sun
With a fever in my head
Fever in my head, oh Lord
Fever in my head"
Molly said to Tenbrooks
"You're looking mighty swoll"
Tenbrooks said to Molly
"I'm leaving this old world
Leaving this old world, oh Lord
Leaving this old world"
ย
Out in California
Where Molly could dance if she pleased
She came back to old Kentucky
Got fevered bone knees
Fevered bone knees, oh Lord
Fevered bone knees
The women's all a-laughing
The children all a-crying
The men's all a-hollering
Old Tenbrooks a-flying
Old Tenbrooks a-flying, oh Lord
Old Tenbrooks a-flying
ย
Piper, Piper, you're not right to ride
Molly's a-beating old Tenbrooks
Clear out of sight
Clear out of sight, oh Lord
Clear out of sight
Piper, Piper, Piper my son
Give old Tenbrooks the bridle
And let old Tenbrooks run
Let old Tenbrooks run, oh Lord
Let old Tenbrooks run
ย
Go and fetch old Tenbrooks
And hitch him in the shade
We're gonna bury old Molly
In a coffin ready made
Coffin ready made, oh Lord
Coffin ready made
ย
Let old Tenbrooks run, oh Lord
Let old Tenbrooks run
