Lights in the parlor, fire's in the gate

Clock on the mantle says it's getting late

Curtains on the window, snowy white

If I'm not mistaken and I'm sure I'm right

My old misses swore to me
                     A7     D
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

 D
Ida Red, Ida Red,
