Ida, Ida, where you stay last night?
Hair's all tangled your clothes ain't fitting you right
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody been playin' with that thing
Little brown rooster said to the little red hen
" Ain't had no lovin' in I don't knowwhen."
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody been playin' with that thing
You can always tell when your girl's gon' treat you mean
Your meals aren't regular, your house ain't never clean
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody's been playin' with that thing
[Spoken ]
Play that thing now, boy!
Yeah!
I know somebody's been playin' that thing
Say now, you remember that morning, knocked upon your door
Had the nerve to tell me y'don't want me no more?
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody been playin' with that thing
Now, you run here, doctor, run here quick
Ida had something this morning done, made her sick
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody been playin' with that thing
Said that little brown rooster said to the little red hen
" Meet me down at the barnyard 'bout, half-past-ten."
Just as sure as you're born, somebody's been playin' with that thing
Just as sure as you're born, Ida, somebody been playin' with that thing
