"Stretch 'Em Out" lyrics

When I turn loose these old hounds
There ain't nothin' they can't run down
I seen 'em run 35 miles on a real long day
They'd swim three rivers 'fore they let him get away
Man look at them hounds
There ain't nothing they can't run down
Man look at them hounds
There ain't nothing they can't run down

So go on cut them dogs loose boy
I don't know what you're waitin' for
I just gotta hear that bone chillin' sound
Cut them dogs loose hurry up now
Drop that gate and when they hit the ground
If they don't kill 'em they're gonna catch
And if they catch you can bet they gonn' stretch 'em out

When I turn loose these old hounds
There ain't nothin' they can't run down
I seen 'em climb up a tree go down in a cave
Man a half a dozen dogs gonna drive him to an early grave
Look at them hounds there ain't nothing that they can't run down
Man look at them hounds there ain't nothing that they can't run down

So go on cut them dogs loose boy
I don't know what your waitin' for
I just gotta hear that bone chillin' sound
Cut them dogs loose hurry up now
Drop that gate and when they hit the ground
If you don't kill em they're gonna catch
And if they catch you can bet they gonn' stretch 'em out

They gonna put an end to a long chase real quick
Most the time I don't even need a knife or bang-stick

So go on cut them dogs loose boy
I don't know what your waitin' for
I thank The Lord for that bone chillin' sound
Cut them dogs loose hurry up now
Drop that gate and when they hit the ground
If you don't kill 'em they're gonna catch
And if they catch you can bet they gonn' stretch 'em out
