Ida Red - Folk Song - Clawhammer Banjo
Ida Red is a traditional folk song. I tell a story about the song in the intro and then sing and play it clawhammer style on the banjo. Woody Guthrie and Anna & Elizabeth play this song so great. I believe Merle Haggard has also played this song. Seems like everybody plays this song different. I added timestamps in case you want to skip the intro and go directly to the song.

Ida Red, Ida Green
Purtiest gal I ever seen
Ida Red lives in town
Weighs three hundred and forty pounds
Ida Red, Ida Red
I'm just crazy about Ida Red
-
Ida Red, Ida Blue
Ida bit a hoecake half in two
If I'd a-listend to what Ida said
I'd a-been sleeping in Ida's bed
Ida Red, Ida Red
Everybody's crazy about Ida Red
-
Way down the river and across the creek
Don't get a letter but once a week
Ida Red, big and plump
Eighty-six inches around the rump
Ida Red, Ida Red,
Can't make a living for Ida Red (I`m just crazy for Ida Red)
-
Ida Red jumped the fence
I ain't seen my Ida since
Gonna buy me a horse, gonna buy me a sled
Take me riding, Ida Red
Ida Red, Ida Green
Purtiest gal I ever seen
Oh Ida Red, Ida Green
Purtiest gal I ever seen
