Hey, All You Coon Hunters Out There,

I am trying to decipher a couple of lines from Jimmy Martin's Bluegrass tune "Pete, The Best Coon Dog in Tennessee". The first lyric is "He's half black and tan and half ????, I say". The second lyric I am having trouble with comes just after "Now boys get the dogs and hold 'em in the truck". Can't make heads or tails out of the next couple of lines.

TIA,

Frank
