"Ida Red" Performance

 "Ida Red" (gCGCE relative, f A# F A# D actual) also known as "Down the Road" and sometimes confused with "Cripple Creek." I mostly learned this song from George Gibson (of Knott County, Kentucky) and a recording of Coy Morton (also of Knott County, Kentucky).  


Ida red Ida black 

Wish I had old Ida back, 

Down the road down the road 

Everybody's looking off down the road.  


Ida red with eyes of blue 

I got drunk on Ida too,  


Down the road about a mile-and-a-half 

Seen old Ida dragging him back,  


Down the road far as I been 

All these women want rowdy men,

This is the same Luscomb I've had since I was 16. Bought it back from the guy I sold it to.

I am mostly using nylons these days, yes.

I notice you've been playing a Luscomb again recently. Is this your old one or have you acquired another one?

Scott Edelen

Appreciate the lyrics as well. Do you string up with nylon exclusively? Keep those natural D tunes coming.

Excellent! .....um, what's that grinning object over your right shoulder?

Great job! I am glad you have been posting lyrics with some of these old songs.
