Ida Red lyrics
by Woody Guthrie
Down the river and across the creek
Don't get a letter but once a week
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
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 jumped the fence
I ain't seen my Ida since
Ida Red jumped the fence
I ain't seen my Ida since
Ida Red, Ida Red
Can't make a living for Ida Red
Ida Red, Ida Red
Can't make a living for Ida Red
