[Verse]
Lights in the parlor, fire s in the grate
Clock on the mantle says it s getting late
Curtains on the window, snowy white
The parlor s pleasant on a Sunday night
[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
[Verse 2]
Lamp on the table, picture on the wall,
There s a pretty sofa and that s not all
If I m not mistaken and I m sure I m right
There s somebody else in the parlor tonite
[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
[Verse 3]
Chicken in the bread pan, pecking out dough
Granny will your dog bite? No child no
Hurry up boys and don t fool around
Grab your partner and truck on down
[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
[Verse 4]
Lights a burnin dim, fire s a gettin low
Somebody says it s time to go
I hear a whisper, gently and light
Dont forget to come next Sunday night
[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
[Verse 5]
My old misses swore to me
When she died she s set me free
She lived so long her head got bald
She took a notion not to die at all
[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
