[Verse 1]

F
Well I caught my wife with another man
              Eb   Bb                F
And it cost me ninety-nine
F
On a prison farm in Georgia
                                   C
Close to the Florida line
F
Well I've been here for two long years
 Eb                       Bb                  F
I finally made the warden my friend
F
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
C                         F
taking care of Ol' Red

F
Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog
Eb             Bb   F
that I've ever seen
F
Got a nose that can smell a two-day trail
                                       C
He's a four-legged tracking machine
F
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past
Eb                          Bb                  F
The gators and the quicksand beds
F
But all these years that I've been here
C                                      F
Ain't nobody got past red

[Chorus]

F
And the warden sang

come on somebody why don't you run
                                  Eb              F
Ol' Reds itchin' to have a little fun

get my lantern, get my gun
                                         Eb                    F
Red'll have you treed 'fore the mornin' comes

[Verse 2]

F
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
Eb                           Bb         F
To my cousin up in Tennessee
F
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
                                        C
She was pretty as she could be
F
Well they penned her up in the swampland
               Eb              Bb             F
'Bought a mile just south of the gate
F
and I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
C                                 F
I'd just drop him off and wait

[Kembali ke Chorus]

[Verse 3]

F
Now Ol' Red got used to seeing
Eb           Bb          F
His lady every night
F
And so I kept him away for three or four days
                                                  C
And waited till the time got right
F
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
Eb                                 Bb               F
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out
F
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
C                                    F
And Ol' Red was headed south

[Kembali ke Chorus]

[Outro]

F
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the south
F                                  Eb      Bb              F
Love got me in here and love got me out
