Ida Red

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Light in the parlor, fire in the grate Clock on the mantle says it gettin' too late Curtains in the window, snowy white [Incomprehensible] on Sunday night [Chorus] Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red [Verse 2] Lamp on the table, picture on the wall There's a pretty sofa and that ain't all If I'm not mistaken I sure am right Somebody else in the parlor tonight [Chorus] Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red [Verse 3] Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no Hurry up, boys, now, don't you be slow Y'all in a girdle like you was awhile ago [Chorus] Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red [Verse 4] My old mistress promised me That when she died she'd set me free But she lived so long that her head got bald Took the notion not to die at all [Chorus] Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red [Verse 5] Lights grow dim, fire's gettin' low Somebody said it's time to go I hear a whisper, gentle and light Don't forget to come back Saturday night [Chorus] Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red Ida Red, Ida Red, I'm plum fool about Ida Red
