Lyrics:

[Intro]
Now, friends, before there's too much been said
Let's all dance this old tune called 'Ida Red'

[Verse 1]
Light in the parlor, fire in the grate
Clock on the mantle says it's getting late
Curtains on the window, snowy white
The parlor is pleasant on Sunday night

[Chorus]
Ida Red, Ida Red
I'm a plumb fool 'bout Ida Red
