| [00:14.53] |
Well I caught my wife with another man |
| [00:17.52] |
And it cost me ninety nine |
| [00:22.39] |
On a prison farm in Georgia |
| [00:25.93] |
Close to the Florida line |
| [00:30.48] |
Well I'd been here for two long years |
| [00:33.88] |
I finally made the warden my friend |
| [00:38.30] |
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease |
| [00:42.38] |
Taking care of Ol Red |
| [00:46.62] |
Now Ol'Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen |
| [00:54.52] |
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail |
| [00:57.80] |
He's a four legged tracking machine |
| [01:02.30] |
You can consider yourself mighty lucky |
| [01:05.22] |
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds |
| [01:10.26] |
But all these years that I've been here |
| [01:13.96] |
Ain't nobody got past Red |
| [01:17.53] |
And the warden sang |
| [01:18.70] |
Come on somebody |
| [01:20.28] |
Why don't you run |
| [01:21.88] |
Ol'Red's itchin'to have a little fun |
| [01:24.96] |
Get my lantern |
| [01:26.66] |
Get my gun |
| [01:28.31] |
Red'll have you treed before the morning comes |
| [01:37.07] |
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter |
| [01:40.30] |
To my cousin up in Tennessee |
| [01:45.02] |
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound |
| [01:47.98] |
She was pretty as she could be |
| [01:52.35] |
Well they penned her up in the swampland |
| [01:56.24] |
'Bout a mile just south of the gate |
| [02:01.04] |
And I'd take Ol'Red for his evening run |
| [02:04.23] |
I'd just drop him off and wait |
| [02:07.92] |
And the warden sang |
| [02:09.11] |
Come on somebody |
| [02:10.68] |
Why don't you run |
| [02:12.30] |
Ol'Red's itchin'to have a little fun |
| [02:15.45] |
Get my lantern |
| [02:17.06] |
Get my gun |
| [02:18.71] |
Red'll have you treed before the mornin'comes |
| [02:33.76] |
Now Ol'Red got real used to seeing |
| [02:36.99] |
His lady every night |
| [02:41.82] |
And so I kept him away for three or four days |
| [02:45.10] |
And waited till the time got right |
| [02:49.88] |
Well I made my run with the evenin'sun |
| [02:53.02] |
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out |
| [02:57.58] |
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee |
| [03:00.68] |
And Ol'Red was headed south |
| [03:04.82] |
And the warden sang |
| [03:05.88] |
Come on somebody |
| [03:07.47] |
Why don't you run |
| [03:09.12] |
Ol'Red's itchin'to have a little fun |
| [03:12.22] |
Get my lantern |
| [03:13.84] |
Get my gun |
| [03:15.49] |
Red'll have you treed before the mornin'comes |
| [03:19.90] |
|
| [03:21.04] |
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South |
| [03:24.36] |
Love got me in here and love got me out |
| [03:33.15] |
|
