Ol Red [G]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-Gnine
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 C the warden my G friend
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 machDine
You can G consider 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

Verse 3
Well, I G paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my F cousin up in C TennesGsee
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

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
