Been lookin cross this ole cabin of ours
Me an the woods, the trees an the stars
Ya keep our home tidy and keep ma cloths clean
Ya also straightin ma heart Ida Jean
Oh Ida Jean you shore are a sleeper
I went fishin for gals, you was a keeper
I really don’t mind that yer missin a tooth
It’s hard to believe but I’m tellin the truth
Some been sayin that you ain’t a looker
When I bring home a possum they’d never cook er.
You may git ornery and downright mean
But that only turns me on, Ida Jean
Oh Ida Jean you shore are a sleeper
I went fishin for gals, you was a keeper
I really don’t mind that yer missin a tooth
It’s hard to believe but I’m tellin the truth
When folks stop on by ya shore are a pleaser
Ma heart will be yurs till I am a geezer
I’ll butter you up to sow a few beans
No one can beat you at that Ida Jean
Oh Ida Jean you shore are a sleeper
I went fishin for gals, you was a keeper
I really don’t mind that yer missin a tooth
It’s hard to believe but I’m tellin the truth
