Bomb Will's and the Texas Playboys - Ida Red Likes the Boogie

Ida Red was one of many massive hits for Will's and the Texas playboys. Songwriter George Frederick Root took lyrics from an 1878 parlour song. Ida Red, she lives in pounds, weighs 340 pounds down the road and across the creek. Don't get a letter but once a week. The band's success started to decline when Tommy Duncan quit over Will's drinking.
