Shelton, Blake - Ol' Red Lyrics






Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I'd been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol' Red

Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest 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 beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

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 penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

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

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out

    I am so happy my Mom still remembers when Blake Shelton was on La Grange, Indiana when he was just starting out. They stopped at the gas station she was working in to get drinks and snacks. Blake was short change. Mom offered to go ahead and make it up. Blake said no he would go out to the bus and get the change. So when he sent on of the guys in with the change he had autographed a picture for her. Mom still remembers the red sparking outfit he had on. Mom is im the nursing home now. We can't find the picture with the autograph. But Mom said Blake was very kind. Thank you Blake for just being YOU. EVERYTIME MOM SEES YOU ON TV SHE TALKS ABOUT THAT MEETING.GOD BLESS YOU BLAKE.

  90. S.... ....

    It's really hard to get past the fact that the guy in this song murdered two people and is now free to roam the country to murder the next woman he meets. Really makes the song a lot less fun.

  91. s.... b....

    I had a crush on a guy who had this as his favorite song. He died in December of 17. I will always miss him. ❤️ I love you D

  92. D.... E....

    I am so grateful 🙏
