Ida Red

[Verse 1]
Ida Red dressed in blue
I 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)

[Verse 2]
I'm so glad I'm about to shout
Well, I got my load, now I'm backin' out (Ida Red)
But if I be nice and kind
Why can't you plumb the line? (Ida Red)

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
You play fair, don't turn rat
I'll trade my Ford for a fishtail Cad (Ida Red)
I'll ride you around from town to town
But if you don't be good, gal, I'll let you down (Ida Red)

[Verse 4]
That ain't yours, leave it alone
It'll get you outdoors and up the road I'm gone (Ida Red)
I'm tellin' you lady, well, I'm tellin' you straight
You can't catch no fish, you ain't got no bait (Ida Red)

[Outro]
