Johnny Cash was a country favorite from the time he started until his death. He had a passion for entertaining; Cash had many number one hits. One such favorite song was Tennessee Stud. He performed it one night in front of a crowded auditorium. Tennessee Stud so happens to be a horse. The speaker in the song rides away on the horse because he has had trouble with his girlfriend's father.

Here are some of the lyrics to Tennessee Stud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa

One of her brothers was a bad outlaw

I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud and

I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

On a Tennessee Stud

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

He had the nerve, and he had the blood

There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

Cash was talented and is considered one of the great music makers of the U.S. He enjoyed entertaining his fans and did it well. Tennessee Stud was just one of Cash's many hit singles. Watching his performance in front of a live audience gives it another special level. 

Tennessee Stud is a fantastic song that only proved Johnny Cash had the talent to be considered one of country music's favorite singers. However, Tennesse Stud was not originally written by him. That honor belongs to Jimmy Driftwood, himself an acclaimed US folk and country musician. The song was composed in 1959 and has been covered by numerous artists over the years.
