(D minor) (D minor)
(D minor) (D minor) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
Well, I (D minor) caught my wife with another man
And it (C major) cost me (G major) ninety-nine (D minor)
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line (A major)
Well, I'd (D minor) been here for two long years
I (C major) finally made the (G major) warden my (D minor) friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
(A major) Takin' care of Ol' Red (D minor)

Verse 2
Now, Ol' Red, (D minor) he's the damnedest dog
(C major) That I've (G major) ever seen (D minor)
Got a nose that can smell a two-day trail
He's a four legged tracking' machine (A major)
You can con (D minor) sider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the (C major) gators
and the (G major) quicksand (D minor) beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't (A minor) nobody got past Red (D minor)
Chorus 1
And the warden sang
(D major) Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to (C major) have a little (D major) fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the
(C major) mornin' (D major) comes
(D major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 3
Well, I (D major) paid off the guard
and I slipped out a letter
To my (C major) cousin up in (G major) Tennessee (D major)
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be (A major)
Well they (D major) penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile (C major) just (G major) south of the gate (D major)
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just (A major) drop him off (D major) and wait
Chorus 2
And the warden sang
(D major) Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to (C major) have a little (D major) fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the
(C major) mornin' (D major) comes (C major) (G major)
(D major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 4
Now Ol' Red (D major) got real used to seein'
His (C major) lady (G major) every night (D major)
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited 'til the time got (A major) right
Well, I (D major) made my run with the evening sun
And I smiled (C major) when I (G major) heard 'em turn Red (D major) out
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' (A major) Red was headed south (D major)
Chorus 3
And the warden sang
(D major) Come on somebody, why don't you run?
Ol' Red's itchin' to have (C major) a little (D major) fun
Get my lantern, get my gun
Red'll have you treed 'fore the (C major) mornin' (D major) comes
Outro 1
Now there's (D major) red-haired blue ticks
all in the South
Love got me in here and (C major) love got me out (D major)
Ol' Red
