Intro: E D A
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
Now Ol’ Red he’s the damndest dog
That I’ve ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He’s a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past
The gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I been here
Ain’t nobody got past Red
Chorus:
E And the warden sang, E7 E E7 E Come on somebody why don’t you run E7 E B E Ol’ Red’s itchin to have a little fun E7 E E7 E Get my lantern, get my gun E7 E B E Red’ll have you treed ‘fore the morning comes
E D A
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well the penned her up in the swampland
About a mile just south of the gate
And I’d take Ol’ Red for his evening run
I’d just drop him off and wait
E And the warden sang, E7 E E7 E Come on somebody why don’t you run E7 E B E Ol’ Red’s itchin to have a little fun E7 E E7 E Get my lantern, get my gun E7 E B E Red’ll have you treed ‘fore the morning comes
E D A
Now Ol’ Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited til the time got right
Well I made my run with the evening sun
And I smiled when I heard ‘em turn Red out
Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol’ Red was headed south
E And the warden sang, E7 E E7 E Come on somebody why don’t you run E7 E B E Ol’ Red’s itchin to have a little fun E7 E E7 E Get my lantern, get my gun E7 E B E Red’ll have you treed ‘fore the morning comes
E D A
E Now there’s red hair blue ticks all in the south E B E Love got me in here and love got me out
The END!
