[Verse 1]
EWell i caught my wife with another man And it Dcost me nintyA nineE
EOn a prision farm on Georgia B7close to the Flordia linEe
EWell I've been here for two long years and I Dfinnaly made the warden myA friendE
EAnd so he sentenced me to a life of ease B7taking care of Ol REed
ENow Ol Red hes the damndest dog Dthat I've ever Aseen E
EGot a nose that can smell a two day trail hes a B7four legged tracking machEiane
EYou can consider yourself mighty lucky to Dget past the gators and the quicAksand Ebeds
EBut all these years that I've been here B7anit nobody got past REed
[Chorus]
EAnd the warden sang come on somebody why dont you run DOl reds itching to Ahave a little Efun
EGet my lantern get my gun B7Red will have you treed before for the morning Ecomes
[Verse 2]
EWell i paid off guared and i slipt out a letter to my Dcousins up in West VAirginEa
EOh and they brought down a bluetick hound B7she was pretty as she could Ebe
EWell they pinned her up in the swampland Dabout a mile just Asouth of the gEate
EI'd take Ol Red for his evening run IB7'd just drop him of and wEait
[Chorus]
EAnd the warden sang come on somebody why dont you run DOl reds itching to Ahave a little Efun
EGet my lantern get my gun B7Red will have you treed before for the morning Ecomes
[Verse 3]
ENow Ol Red got real used to seeing Dhis lady everyA nighEt
ESo i kept him away for three or four days B7and waited till the time got Eright
EWell i made my run with the evening sun aDnd I smiled when i heard them turn ARed oEut
ECause I was headed north to West Virgina B7and Ol Red was headed soEuth
[Chorus]
EAnd the warden sang come on somebody why dont you run DOl reds itching to Ahave a little Efun
EGet my lantern get my gun B7Red will have you treed before for the morning Ecomes
[Outro]
ENows theres redhaired blueticks all in the south
DLove got me in here and lAove gotE me out
