Ida Red

Ida Red, dressed in blue

I've got a gal, named Ida, too (Ida Red)

Early I leave, I come back late

If I make this loot, well, I'll be straight (Ida Red)

I'm so glad, I'm about to shout

Well, I got my load, now I'm backing out (Ida Red)

But if I be, nice and kind

Why can't you, blow the line? (Ida Red)

You play fair, don't turn red

I'll trade my Ford, for a fishtail cat (Ida Red)

I'll ride you 'round, from town to town

But if you don't be good, gal, I'll let you down (Ida Red)

That ain't yours, leave it alone

You'll catch the outdoors, and up the road I'm gone (Ida Red)

I'm tellin' you, lady, what I'm tellin' you straight

You can't catch no fish, if you ain't got no bait (Ida Red)
