           (3/4)

        E5
Well, I caught my wife with another man

       D       A        E5
And it cost me ninety-nine

     E5
On a prison farm in Georgia

                      B7
Close to the Florida line

      E5
Well, I've been here for two long years

  D                A           E5
I finally made the warden my friend

          E5
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease

B7                  E5
taking care of Ol' Red

        E5
Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog

D         A      E5
that I've ever seen

      E5
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail

                                B7
He's a four legged tracking machine

           E5
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past

    D              A         E5
The gators and the quicksand beds

    E5
But all these years that I've been here

      B7               E5
Ain't nobody got past Red

E
come on somebody why don't you run

                     D             E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun

                                D       E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes

        E5
Well, I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter

      D            A      E5
To my cousin up in Tennessee

        E5
Oh, and he brought down a blue tick hound

                             B7
She was pretty as she could be

           E5
Well, they penned her up in the swampland

         D         A            E5
'Bout a mile just south of the gate

        E5
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run

        B7           E5
I'd just drop him off and wait

E
come on somebody why don't you run

                     D             E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun

                                D       E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes

        E5
Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing

    D    A        E5
His lady every night

         E5
And so I kept him away for three or four days

                              B7
And waited till the time got right

        E5
Well, I made my run with the evenin' sun

       D             A              E5
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out

             E5
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee

        B7              E5
And Ol' Red was headed south

E
come on somebody why don't you run

                     D             E
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun

                                D       E
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes

            E5*
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the south

E5*                     D*           E5*
Love got me in here and love got me out
