- Verse:
- In the region where the
roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own,
For, I know my love for her will never die;
When the sun is sinking in the golden west,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
Then I sneak down to that place I love the best,
Ev'ry ev'ning there along I sigh.
-
- Chorus:
- Ida, sweet as apple cider,
- Sweeter than all I know,
- Come out, in the silv'ry
moonlight,
- Of love we'll whisper so
soft and low.
- Seems tho' can't live without
you,
- Listen Oh; Honey doo,
- Ida, I idolize ya,
- I Love you Ida, deed I do.
