(Bob Willis & The Texas Playboys)
[E] Lights in the parlor, fires in the grate,
Clock on the mantle says its [B7] gettin [E] late.
Curtains on the window, snowy white,
The parlors pleasant on [B7] Sunday [E] night
Chorus
[E] Ida Red, Ida Red,
Im a plumb fool bout [B7] Ida [E] Red
Lamp on the table, picture on the wall,
Theres a pretty sofa and [B7] thats not [E] all,
If Im not mistaken and Im sure Im right,
Theys somebody else in the [B7] parlor to- [E] night.
Chorus
Chicken in the bread bin peckin out dough,
Granny will ya dog bite? [B7] No, chile, [E] no.
Hurry up boys and dont fool around,
Grab your partner and [B7] truck on [E] down.
Chorus
Lights aburnin dim, fires agettin low,
Somebody says its [B7] time to [E] go.
I hear the whisper, gentle and light,
Dont forget to come next [B7] Sunday [E] night.
Chorus
My ol Missus swore to me,
When she died shed [B7] set me [E] free.
She lived so long her head got bald,
She took a notion not to [B7] die at [E] all.
