(Bob Willis & The Texas Playboys)
E
Lights in the parlor, fires in the grate,
B7E
Clock on the mantle says its gettin late.
Curtains on the window, snowy white,
B7E
The parlors pleasant on Sunday night
Chorus
E
Ida Red, Ida Red,
B7E
Im a plumb fool bout Ida Red
Lamp on the table, picture on the wall,
B7E
Theres a pretty sofa and thats not all,
If Im not mistaken and Im sure Im right,
B7E
Theys somebody else in the parlor to- night.
Chorus
Chicken in the bread bin peckin out dough,
B7E
Granny will ya dog bite? No, chile, no.
Hurry up boys and dont fool around,
B7E
Grab your partner and truck on down.
Chorus
Lights aburnin dim, fires agettin low,
B7E
Somebody says its time to go.
I hear the whisper, gentle and light,
B7E
Dont forget to come next Sunday night.
Chorus
My ol Missus swore to me,
B7E
When she died shed set me free.
She lived so long her head got bald,
B7E
She took a notion not to die at all.
