[Verse]
E
Well I caught my wife with another man
D A E
And it cost me ninety-nine
E
On a prison farm in Georgia
B
Close to the Florida line
E
Well I've been here for two long years
D A E
I finally made the warden my friend
E
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
B E
taking care of Ol' Red
E
Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog
D A E
that I've ever seen
E
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
B
He's a four legged tracking machine
E
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past
D A E
The gators and the quicksand beds
E
But all these years that I've been here
B E
Ain't nobody got past Red
[Chorus]
E
And the warden sang
come on somebody why don't you run
D E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun
get my lantern, get my gun
D E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
[Verse]
E
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
D A E
To my cousin up in Tennessee
E
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
B
She was pretty as she could be
E
Well they penned her up in the swampland
D A E
'Bought a mile just south of the gate
E
and I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
B E
I'd just drop him off and wait
[Chorus]
E
And the warden sang
come on somebody why don't you run
D E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun
get my lantern, get my gun
D E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
[Verse]
E
Now Ol' Red got used to seeing
D A E
His lady every night
E
And so I kept him away for three or four days
B
And waited till the time got right
E
Well i made my run with the evenin' sun
D A E
And i smiled when i heard 'em let Red out
E
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
B E
And Ol' Red was headed south
[Chorus]
E
And the warden sang
come on somebody why don't you run
D E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun
get my lantern, get my gun
D E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes
[Verse]
* E
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the south
* E D* A* E*
Love got me in here and love got me out
