Williams Jr., Hank - Tennessee Stud Lyrics

JOHNNY'S VERSION STILL THE BEST ALTHOUGH VINCE GILL DID A GREAT JOB. HANK PUTS HIS OWN SPIN ON THIS WHICH MAKES IT COOL

We are a proud southern land. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bocephus says it all

Amen. Country blood

Nothing like a big tall Tennessee Walker to make some miles! Quarter horses be damned!

love this song

Great redo of the Eddie Arnold song. This album is excellent, had a blues theme to it. Hank's late 70s-early 80s stuff was the best. We wore out his records and cassette tapes back then

Jimmy Driftwood wrote it, Doc Watson made it famous

ahhhh the sweet relief when the banjo cuts in

This would be a good movie

No, it's too masculine for Hollywood, they'd either severely feminize it or they wouldn't know what to do with it.

Boy am I getting an education this morning. I had no idea this song was written by a fellow named Jimmy Driftwood (what a name) or that the same fellow wrote He Had a Long Chain on and The Battle of New Orleans. There's a reference to this song in one of my poems -- which you can hear on my channel (One Summer in Bloomington).
If you juxtapose the song with the poem you'll get a fascinating example of artistic cross pollination.

Saddle up boy

Anyone else remember a song on his black album, that was about a Tennessee walker?

I grew up on Doc Watson's version here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, not far from the Tennessee and North Carolina lines.....But I grew up on Hank Williams Jr's version of this classic too, I love them both!! God bless y'all all!!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the upbeat tempo.. I've have never liked when someone takes a mellow song and plays it in a fast and upbeat tempo, even if it's Hank Jr.

I think this song was from "The New South". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds like my palimino, except Trigger is a gelding. His father is Pride's Generator and his mother is Crump's Sugar.

I have a palomino that is also a gelding and this song reminds me of him

glad I was born in Tennessee good old boy til I die

I wasn't lucky enough, I had to move here from Michigan a few years ago, but this is where they'll bury me.

I whupped er brother and I whupped er paw

Im the only reb round here

@Johnyy Reb will the real JohnnyReb please stand up LOL. Sic Semper Tyrannis my friend!

@Johnyy Reb No you AIN'T brotha

@JohnnyRebKy He's standing proud

@Johnyy Reb No you ain't

He is so diverse and dynamic, no two songs sound alike.

Tennessee, home of hannibal lector, evil dead, charlie daniels, elvis presley, johnny knoxville, grand ole opry, and the scopes trial. Best state ever!

Elvis was born in mississippi, but yea.

You forgot Quentin Tarantino

Alvin York too ...

Charlie Daniels was born in North Carolina

Hell Yeah born and raised in Tennessee

Two words... BAD ASS!!!!

This is my favorite version of the song!!!!

Hank Jr finally put some serious kick to this Doc Watson song

+Blaine Gamble , totally  right,,...... Im proud  of my  own family for 100s of yrs are from the Appalachian mtns ,... Doc was  a great  songwriter, and one of the finest guitarists of any age... ,

+GrooveDoctor77 This song was written by Jimmy Driftwood.

I read that just a couple days ago,.,

I think youre right...I just remember that quite a few artists recorded it...I thought it was Doc Watson..but I wasn't sure

GrooveDoctor77 Try Red Foley in the 40s.

I wish UMG will re-release all of Hank Jr's Albums of the 1970's before his fall off Ajax
Mountain,MT in Aug''75 with all the original artwork and new liner notes. His Old Scool-
New Rules album is very cool,,it rocks. Peace.

GREAT !

...... There are some good versions out there,but, the legendary Doc Watson's is my favorite. One of the greatest pickers ever,who we lost recently.

i got tennessee walkers

60 years I've watched these 2 parties we have.
I'll keep my opinion to myself, 'cuz politics got nothin' to do with good music....

vote with hank

Tennessee is hard to beat. Chattanooga will keep you busy checkin' out the history. Be sure to visit the Chattanooga Choo Choo. the Battlefield National Park is a fine reminder about our nation's volatile past. The donated collection displayed in the gun museum is world class. Easy to like Tennessee. :>) Our Historic Time Proven nation is well worth fightin' to keep. Let the others Keep their 'Change'. If you do nothing but Vote, VOTE Like YOUR Life Depends on it.....It Does.

This version is waaaaaay better than The version done by Cash and I bet Cash would agree or he wouldn't have done it. The banjo and mandolin make it better, just my opinion!

Your nuts

I bet The Tennessee Stud was a gorgeous horse! :) Mine is like this only his eyes 'r brown

love this song
