[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]
