The staff nurse, she brought you into the room
Tornado green walls mirrored your mood
With your days numbered, Ida Dawn
Can you retell us your tales before you're gone?
Ida, you came to town with no plans to stay
With six names, nine lives, and one game to play
You met your John, who promised you all your dreams
The corn liquor he distilled would provide the means
Did he lead you on or did you think he was the one?
Tell us where's he gone, Ida Dawn
Running girls and running shine, John's running out of time
Tell us what was going through your head
Capone ran you out of town as the still burned to the ground
Another name and life waiting to the west
Missouri lawmen tracked you down as you buried sacks of cash
Near the Mississippi river bed
Did John know the supper made, the only one of yours he ever ate
Would be the one that would take him down?
The poison in his blood, was it put there just for fun?
Tell us what you've done, Ida Dawn
Take your secrets to the grave
As you make your last getaway
As the morning comes, one last game to play
The other patients claim their teeth have just walked away
Under the quilted blanket, your bounty lay
In a drawer next to the bed, the plans for your escape
Did you meet Capone and did he threaten you with a gun?
Tell us where's the well where you said you buried it all
Or was it all a game and that you said it just for fun?
Tell us what you've done, Ida Dawn
Ida Dawn, Ida Dawn, Ida, tell us what you've done, now
Ida Dawn, Ida Dawn, Ida Dawn
