Ida Red

Lights in the parlor fires in the grate

Clock on the mantle says its getting late

Curtains on the window snowy white

The parlors pleasant on Sunday night

Ida Red Ida Red

I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red

Lamp on the table picture on the wall

There's a pretty sofa and that's not all

If I'm not mistaken and I'm sure I'm right

There's somebody else in the parlor tonight

Ida Red Ida Red

I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red

Chicken in the bread bin pecking out dough

Granny will ya dog bite no child no

Hurry up boys and don't fool around

Grab your partner and truck on down

Ida Red Ida Red

I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red

Lights a burning dim fire's a getting low

Somebody says its time to go

I hear the whisper gentle and light

Don't forget to come next Sunday night

Ida Red Ida Red

I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red

My old Missus swore to me

When she died shed set me free

She lived so long her head got bald

She took a notion not to die at all

Ida Red Ida Red

I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red
