Ida Red Lyrics

Down the river and across the creek

Don't get a letter but once a week.
Down the river and across the creek

Don't get a letter but once a week.

CHORUS: Ida Red, Ida Red,

Can't make a living for Ida Red

Ida Red, Ida Red,

Can't make a living for Ida Red

Ida Red, big and plump

Eighty-four inches around the rump

Ida Red, big and plump
Eighty-four inches around the rump

CHORUS

Ida Red jumped the fence

I ain't seen my Ida since

Ida Red jumped the fence

I ain't seen my Ida since

CHORUS
Hurry up boy and on you go

Circle four in the middle of the floor

Maybe the last time, I don't know

Hurry up lord, don't go slow

Buy me a horse, buy me a sled

Take me riding, Ida Red

Buy me a horse, buy me a sled

Take me riding, Ida Red

CHORUS
