Ol Red - Blake Shelton

[Intro]
[G] [G] [G] [F] [C]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [G]caught my wife with another man
And it [F]cost me [C]ninety-[G]nine
On a [G]prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida [D]line
Well, [G]I've been here for two long years
I [F]finally made the [C]warden my fr[G]iend
And so he [G]sentenced me to a life of ease
[D]taking care of Ol' [G]Red

[Verse 2]
Now Ol' [G]Red he's the damnedest dog
[F]that I've [C]ever [G]seen
Got a [G]nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking mach[D]ine
You can con[G]sider yourself mighty lucky to get past
The [F]gators and the [C]quicksand [G]beds
But [G]all these years that I've been here
Ain't [D]nobody got past [G]Red

|[Chorus]
|And the warden sang [G]come on somebody why don't you run
|Ol' Reds itchin' to [F]have a little [G]fun
|Get my lantern, get my gun Red'll have you treed 'fore the [F]mornin' [G]comes

[Verse 3]
Well, I [G]paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my [F]cousin up in [C]Tennes[G]see
Oh, and [G]he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could [D]be
Well, they [G]penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a [F]mile just [C]south of the [G]gate
And I'd [G]take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just[D] drop him off[G] and wait

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Now Ol' [G]Red got real used to seeing
His [F]lady [C]every [G]night
And so I [G]kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got [D]right
Well, I [G]made my run with the evenin' sun
And I [F]smiled when I [C]heard 'em turn [G]Red out
'Cause I was [G]headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' [D]Red was headed [G]south

|[Chorus]
|And the warden sang [G]come on somebody why don't you run
|Ol' Reds itchin' to [F]have a little [G]fun
|Get my lantern, get my gun Red'll have you treed 'fore the [F]mornin' [G]comes

[Outro]
Now there's [G]red haired blue ticks all in the south
[G]Love got me in here and [F]love got me [G]out
