[00:11.10]Well I caught my wife with another man
[00:14.78]And it cost me ninety nine
[00:19.80]On a prison farm in Georgia
[00:23.25]Close to the Florida line
[00:27.77]Well I'd been here for two long years
[00:30.40]I finally made the warden my friend
[00:35.52]And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
[00:38.63]Taking care of Ol Red
[00:42.83]Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
[00:50.77]Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
[00:54.16]He's a four legged tracking machine
[00:59.67]You can consider yourself mighty lucky
[01:02.76]To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
[01:07.86]But all these years that I've been here
[01:11.18]Ain't nobody got past Red
[01:14.29]And the warden sang
[01:15.99]Come on somebody
[01:17.77]Why don't you run
[01:19.36]Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
[01:22.43]Get my lantern
[01:24.08]Get my gun
[01:25.70]Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
[01:34.00]Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
[01:37.59]To my cousin up in Tennessee
[01:42.20]Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
[01:45.35]She was pretty as she could be
[01:49.80]Well they penned her up in the swampland
[01:53.60]'Bout a mile just south of the gate
[01:58.54]And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
[02:01.85]I'd just drop him off and wait
[02:06.00]And the warden sang
[02:07.45]Come on somebody
[02:08.90]Why don't you run
[02:10.51]Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
[02:13.70]Get my lantern
[02:15.30]Get my gun
[02:16.97]Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
[02:31.10]Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
[02:35.47]His lady every night
[02:40.07]And so I kept him away for three or four days
[02:43.74]And waited till the time got right
[02:47.70]Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
[02:51.40]And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out
[02:56.10]'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
[02:58.56]And Ol' Red was headed south
[03:03.55]And the warden sang
[03:04.73]Come on somebody
[03:06.15]Why don't you run
[03:07.84]Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
[03:10.95]Get my lantern
[03:12.51]Get my gun
[03:14.22]Red'll have you treed before the mornin' come
[03:19.00]Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
[03:24.40]Love got me in here and love got me out
