Ol' Red |
I caught my wife with another man |
It cost me ninety nine |
Down in Georgia prison |
Close to the Florida line |
Well I’d been here for two long years |
I finally made the warden my friend |
He sentenced me to a life of ease |
Taking care of Ol' Red |
Now Ol' Red he’s the damnedest dog that I’ve ever seen |
He’s got a nose that can smell a two-day trail |
He’s a four-legged trackin' machine |
You can consider yourself mighty lucky |
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds |
'Cause all these years that I’ve been here |
Nobody got past Red |
Hear the warden sang |
Come on somebody |
Why don’t you run |
Ol' Red’s itchin' to have a little fun |
Get my lantern |
Get my gun |
Red’ll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes |
I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter |
To my cousin up in Tennessee |
Now he brought down a blue tick hound |
She was pretty as she could be |
So we staked her up in the swampland |
About a mile just south of the gate |
And I’d take Ol' Red for his evenin' walk |
Let him go and wait |
Hear the warden sang |
Come on somebody |
Why don’t you run |
Ol' Red’s itchin' to have a little fun |
Get my lantern |
Get my gun |
Red’ll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes |
Now Ol' Red got real used to seein' |
His lady fried every night |
So I kept him away for three or four days |
And waited 'til the time got right |
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun |
And I smiled when I heard they let Red out |
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee |
And Ol' Red he was headed south |
Hear the warden sang |
Come on somebody |
Why don’t you run |
Ol' Red’s itchin' to have a little fun |
Get my lantern |
Get my gun |
Red’ll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes |
Now there’s red-haired blue ticks all in the South |
Love got me in here and love got me out |
