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 [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 mach[D]ine
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

|[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
