E                       D      A  E
Well i caught my wife with another man And it cost me ninty nine
E              B7           E
On a prision farm on Georgia close to the Flordia line
E                      D             A   E
Well I've been here for two long years and I finnaly made the warden my friend
E                    B7         E
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease taking care of Ol Red
E                D       A  E
Now Ol Red hes the damndest dog that I've ever seen
E                        B7            E
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail hes a four legged tracking machiane
E                     D                A   E
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past the gators and the quicksand beds
E                    B7          E
But all these years that I've been here anit nobody got past Red

Well i paid off guared and i slipt out a letter to my cousins up in West Virgina
E                     B7             E
Oh and they brought down a bluetick hound she was pretty as she could be
E                    D         A       E
Well they pinned her up in the swampland about a mile just south of the gate
E                  B7            E
I'd take Ol Red for his evening run I'd just drop him of and wait

E                 D       A  E
Now Ol Red got real used to seeing his lady every night
E                     B7              E
So i kept him away for three or four days and waited till the time got right
E                    D                 A  E
Well i made my run with the evening sun and I smiled when i heard them turn Red out
E                    B7           E
Cause I was headed north to West Virgina and Ol Red was headed south
