[Cm] [Fm]
[Eb] [F] Well, I caught my wife with another [Bb] man and it cost me 99
[F] On a prison farm in Georgia close to the Florida [C] line
Well I've been here for two long years I finally made the warden my [F] friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease [C] Taking care of [F] old Red
Now old Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail He's a four legged tracking [C] machine
You [F] can consider yourself mighty lucky [Eb] To get past the gators and the [F] quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here [C] ain't nobody got [F] past Red
And the warden's saying, come on somebody why don't you run
Old Red's itching [Eb] to have a [F] little fun Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treated for the morning gun
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 [C] as she could be
Well [F] they pinned her up in the swamp land About a mile just south of the gate
I take old Red for his evening run [C] I just drop him [F] off and wait
And the warden's saying, come on somebody why don't you run
Old Red's itching to have a little fun Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treated for the morning gun
[Bb]
[F]
Now old Red got real used to seeing his lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days And [Cm] waited till the time got right
Well [F] I made my run with the evening sun [Eb] And I smiled when I heard [F] him turn red out
Cause I was headed north to Tennessee [C] And old Red was [F] headed south
And the warden's saying, come on somebody why don't you run
Old Red's itching to have a little fun Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you [Eb] treated for the morning [F] gun
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the south
Love got me in [Eb] here and love got me [F] lost
