Subject: Lyr Add: REDBONE HOUND (Rodney Dillard)
First I played a sound sample at Allmusic.com, which gave me most of the chorus. Then I googled and found these additional lyrics at a blog belonging to the Midlife Gals:


REDBONE HOUND
Rodney Dillard

Fogeye, Piefoot, Redbone, Dragalong,
Coof, all night you can still hear his song.
Runnin' with the moon on a black-faced riverbank,
Flatfoot and Fickly with a coon on the run.

CHORUS: Redbone hound, come and get your belly up,
Lyin' on your tail all day long.
The mist is a-risin' in the Cripple Creek Holler.
Gonna run till the dew on the grass meets the sun.

Old Fogeye been rackin' through the bean field,
Diggin' up the corn seed, he can't do more.
Uncle Jack says he's goin' for his shotgun.
Gonna nail his hide on the chicken-house door!


[I assume all the strange words in this song are names of dogs. Accordingly, I have capitalized them, although they weren't capitalized in the text I copied from. Please correct me if I'm wrong.]
