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!
