Intro: E D A

^EWell I caught my wife with another man And it ^Dcost me^A ninety^E-nine ^EOn a prison farm in Georgia Close to the Florida ^Bline ^EWell I've been here for two long years ^DI finally made the ^Awarden my ^Efriend ^EAnd so he sentenced me to a life of ease ^BTaking care of Ol' ^ERed

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:

^EAnd the warden sang, ^E7Come on someb^Eody ^E7why don't you r^Eun ^E7Ol' Red's i^Etchin to h^Bave a little f^Eun ^E7Get my l^Eantern, g^E7et my g^Eun ^E7Red'll have you tr^Eeed 'fore the m^Borning c^Eomes

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 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 D A

^ENow there's red hair blue ticks all in the south ^ELove got me in here and l^Bove got me o^Eut

The END!
