Ol' Red - Country And Western/Country Music/Country Pop All-Stars

Well I caught my wife with another man

And he 'cause me ninety-nine

On a prison from in Georgia glo

Hear the warder say

Come on somebody why don't you run

Ol' Red's aitchin' to have a little fun

Get my latern get my gun

Red'll have 'em treed 'fore the mornin' sun

Well I payed off a guard and he slipped out a letter

To my cousin in Tennessee

And he brought down me a blue tick hound

Lord she was pretty as she could be

We they penned her up in the swampland

About a mile just south of the gate

And when I take ol' Red for his evening run

And I'd just drop him off and wait

Hear the warder say

Come on somebody why don't you run

Ol' Red's aitchin' to have a little fun

Get my latern get my gun

Red'll have 'em treed 'fore the mornin' sun

Now old red got use to seein'

He is a lady every night

So I kept him away for three or fours days

And waited till the time got right

I made my run with the evening sun

And I smiled when I heard 'em let him out

'Cause I headed north to Tennessee

And ol' Red was a headed south

I hear the warder say

Come on somebody why don't you run

Ol' Red's aitchin' to have a little fun

Get my latern get my gun

Red'll have 'em treed 'fore the mornin' sun

Now there's red hair blue ticks dogs in the south

Love got me in there and love got me out
