Ida Red 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
