[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
                        B7
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
  B7                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
                                  B7
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
 B7                    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
                             B7
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
 B7                        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
                                 B7
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
 B7                      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
