E D A B E7



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 Iʼve 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 Olʼ Red

Now Olʼ Red heʼs the damndest dog
That Iʼve ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
Heʼs 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
Ainʼt nobody got past Red

Chorus:
E
And the warden sang,
E7       E  E7         E
Come on somebody why donʼt you run
E7      E      B         E
Olʼ Redʼs itchin to have a little fun
E7    E     E7   E
Get my lantern, get my gun
E7           E         B     E
Redʼll 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 Iʼd take Olʼ Red for his evening run
Iʼd just drop him off and wait

E
And the warden sang,
E7       E  E7         E
Come on somebody why donʼt you run
E7      E      B         E
Olʼ Redʼs itchin to have a little fun
E7    E     E7   E
Get my lantern, get my gun
E7           E         B     E
Redʼll have you treed ?fore the morning comes

E D A

Now Olʼ 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 Olʼ Red was headed south

E
And the warden sang,
E7       E  E7         E
Come on somebody why donʼt you run
E7      E      B         E
Olʼ Redʼs itchin to have a little fun
E7    E     E7   E
Get my lantern, get my gun
E7           E         B     E
Redʼll have you treed ?fore the morning comes

E D A

E
Now thereʼs red hair blue ticks all in the south
E                B       E
Love got me in here and love got me out
