Ida Red lives in town
Weighs three hundred and forty pounds

Ida Red Ida Red
I’m a plumb fool about Ida Red

Now Ida Red she’s long she’s tall
She sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall

Ida red and mother green
Ugliest two I’ve ever seen

If i’d-a listened to what Ida said
I’d-a been sleepin in Ida’s bed
