Ida-Ho! 1906

Way out west in Idaho,
there's a girl that I love so,
Ida my Ida oh, oh,
wild as any Injun she,
when she yells
"You can't catch me,"
"Whoa! there, my Ida, Whoa!"
On her bucking bronco she goes
dashing 'cross the plain,
Fast as any train,
she drives me insane,
"Shoofly don't you bother me"
she yells out once again,
then the prairie rings
with my refrain.

IdaHo, whoa! Whoa!
don't go so fast dear,
my horse went last dear,
so please go slow,
my IdaHo I'll kiss you
if I catch you,
won't you stay dear,
don't run away dear,
My IdaHo.

IdaHo, whoa! Whoa!
don't go so fast dear,
my horse went last dear,
so please go slow,
my IdaHo I'll kiss you
if I catch you,
won't you stay dear,
don't run away dear,
My IdaHo.

She's "all wool" and don't forget,
she's a thorughbred you bet,
Ida my Ida oh, oh,
I'll catch up to her some way,
take her in my arms and say,
"Whoa! there, my Ida, Whoa!"
She has lassoed ev'ry cowboy's heart
that's in the west,
but I'll do my best,
put her to the test,
I will capture her some day
and hug her to my breast,
then I'll let the parson do the rest.

IdaHo, whoa! Whoa!
don't go so fast dear,
my horse went last dear,
so please go slow,
my IdaHo I'll kiss you
if I catch you,
won't you stay dear,
don't run away dear,
My IdaHo.

IdaHo, whoa! Whoa!
don't go so fast dear,
my horse went last dear,
so please go slow,
my IdaHo I'll kiss you
if I catch you,
won't you stay dear,
don't run away dear.
