Bluegrass Music: Molly and Tenbrooks

This is an old Bluegrass, Horse Racing song about the Kentucky Derby. This song was written by the late great Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music. Ryan has played with Bill Monroe's son, in Wiggins Mississippi. I first heard it at Music Store Near Me. Now, they have it on a Free Music Download. Or, you can just tune in right here on Ryan Woodcock's channel. Enjoy!!

(Lyrics)

Run oh Molly run, run oh Molly run
Ten-Brooks gonna beat you to the bright and shining sun
To the bright and shining sun oh Lord
To the bright and shining sun

Ten-Brooks was a big bay horse, he wore a shaggy mane
He run all ’round Memphis, and he beat the Memphis train
Beat the Memphis train oh Lord
Beat the Memphis train

Ten-Brooks said to Molly, what makes your head so red
Running in the hot sun with a fever in my head
Fever in my head oh Lord
Fever in my head

Molly said to Ten-Brooks you’re looking mighty squirrel
Ten-Brooks said to Molly I’m leaving this old world
Leaving this old world oh Lord
Leaving this old world

Out in California where Molly done as she pleased
She come back to old Kentucky, got beat with all ease
Beat with all ease oh Lord
Beat with all ease

The women’s all a-laughing, the children all a-crying
Men all a-hollering old Ten-Brooks a- flying
Old Ten-Brooks a- flying oh Lord
Old Ten-Brooks a- flying

Molly and Tenbrooks is an old Bill Monroe classic.
