Jeff Warner sings "Ida Red". Lyrics from his version -- Ida Red Long as the meat’s been a-layin’ on the shelf, I been sitting here by myself. Chorus: Ida Red, Ida Red, I’m getting tired of eatin’ that shortenin’ bread. Long as the grass grows in the field, Gotta cook old John a solid meal. Ain’t but one man that I do fear, Big Jack Johnson, and he ain’t allowed here. Going down town ain’t a-gonna stay long, Might as well put on your bonnet and gown. Captain, oh Captain, has my money come? Be here today or tomorrow one. Big old boat comin’ ‘round the bend, Ain’t doing nothing but killing men. Linn
