Ida Babe Lyrics

I walked with my baby today

Couldn't figure out how to say I'm sorry

I looked into her face

Are you happy in this place that I made

Ida babe

With her red collar on Ida sighed

She wagged her tail and started to cry

I think about the cattle lined up down the street

Where will there be by the end of the week or tomorrow

Mama hear me say

I found me a mother

Who taught me how to love her

Call me by no other name

It's little Ida babe

Mary bought herself a little lamb

Then she went and shot herself a ham with the gun

She keeps under her pillow

A joint and a bottle of wine

Mary went to go visit the swine down the road

It's a muddy road

I don't make 5 dollars an hour

I don't get to take a nice hot shower like you do

I never do

But maybe if I could

I'd smell real good for you ma'am

Then you'd love me too

I'll never see my mother

I'll never have a lover

Oh but very very pleased to meet you

Miss Ida Babe

People pay the bill other people get paid to kill

How would you feel if you were just the meal

Some are fluffy some are white

some will bark some will bite

But she won't if you don't

Bet you wouldn't hurt a mother

Bet you wouldn't hurt your lover

So don't hurt another no more

And I won't hurt another no more

Please don't hurt my mother no more

Oh do it for little Ida Babe
