歌曲歌詞
Well I caught my wife
With another man
And it cost me 99
On Georgia in a prison
Close to the Florida line
Well I've been here for twelve long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And sentenced me
To a life of ease
Takin' care of Old Red
Now old Red he's the damdest dog
That I've ever seen
Got a nose that can 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 fence
But all these years that I've
Been here and nobody got past Red
And the warden sang
"Come on somebody"
Why don't you run
Old Red's itching to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have a treat
"For the morning come"
Well I paid off the guard
And I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh and he brought down
A blue-tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well they pinned her up
In the swampland
About a mile just south of the gate
When I'd take old Red for his evening run
Let go away
And the warden sang
"Come on somebody"
Why don't you run
Old Red's itching to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have a treat
"For the morning come"
Well old Red he got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away
For three or four days
And waited til the time got right
Well I made my run
With the evening sun
And I smiled when I let old Red out
Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And old Red was headed south
And the warden sang
"Come on somebody"
Why don't you run
Old Red's itching
To have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have treat
"For the morning come"
