Lights in the parlor, fire's in the gate

Lamp on the table, picture on the wall,

There's a pretty sofa and that's not all

There's somebody else in the parlor tonite

Chicken in the bread pan, pecking out dough

My old misses swore to me
           A7A7   D MajorD
When she died she's set me free

She lived so long her head got bald
             A7A7   D MajorD
She took a notion not to die at all

Chorus:
 D MajorD
Ida Red, Ida Red,
          A7A7  D MajorD
Im plumb fool about Ida Red
