sean stemaly - ole red lyrics

[verse 1]
well i caught my wife with another man
and it cost me ninety+nine
on a prison farm in georgia
up close to the florida line
well i’ve been here for two long years
i finally made the warden my friend
so he sentenced me to a life of ease
taking care of ol’ red

[verse 2]
now ol’ red, he’s a d+mnedest dog
that i’ve ever seen
got a nose that could smell a two+day trail
he’s a four+legged tracking machine
you can consider yourself mighty lucky
to get past the gators and the quicksand
but all these years since i’ve been here
ain’t n0body got past red

[chorus]
and the warden sang, “come on somebody, why don’t you run?”
“ol’ red’s itching to have a little fun”
“get my lantern, get my gun”
“red’ll have you treed ‘fore the morning comes”
[verse 3]
well i paid off the guards and i slipped out a letter
to my cousin up in tennessee
well and he brought down a bluetick hound
she was pretty as she could be
and they penned her up in the swampland
’bout a mile just south of the pen
and i’d take ol’ red for his evening runs
i’d just drop him off on his way

[verse 4]
now ol’ red got real used to seeing
his lady every night
so i kept him away for three or four days
waited ’til the time got right
well i made my run with the evening sun
and i smiled when i heard ’em turn red out
’cause i was headed north to tennessee
and ol’ red was headed south
[chorus]
yeah, and the warden sang, “come on somebody, why don’t you run?”
“ol’ red’s itching to have a little fun”
“get my lantern, get my gun”
“red’ll have you treed ‘fore the morning comes”

[outro]
now there’s red+haired, blueticks all in the south
love got me in here
and love got me out
