Big Leg Ida

[Verse 1]
Trouble's coming with a round-back mandolin
Trouble's coming with a round-back mandolin
The streetlights are shot out so I can't tell where she's been
Trouble's coming with a round-back mandolin

[Verse 2]
Big Leg Ida could not do without
Oh, Big Leg Ida could not do without
Now she's on the chain gang singing with her teeth poked out
Big Leg Ida could not do without

[Verse 3]
No, you can't get more when there ain't no more around
You can't get more when there ain't no more around
Pack it up while you still can, baby, move to higher ground
You can't get more when there ain't no more around

[Clarinet Solo]

[Verse 4]
Big Leg Ida call me on the phone
Woah, Big Leg Ida call me on the phone
She put down the receiver and picked up her valve trombone
Big Leg Ida call me on the phone

[Verse 5]
I say T-R-O-U-B-L-E
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
That's how I spell Ida, that's how she spells me
It's just T-R-O-U-B-L-E (Play it, boys)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
So give me jug band music and a pint of Tennessee
Hey, jug band music and a pint of Tennessee
Trouble's brought her mandolin, well, that gets her in for free
Give me jug band music and a pint of Tennessee
