There's a Red House over yonder

That's where my baby stays

There's a Red House over yonder, baby

That's where my baby stays

Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,

In ninety nine and one half days.

'Bout time I see her,

Wait a minute something's wrong here

The key won't unlock the door.

Wait a minute something's wrong baby,

Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,

Something's goin' on here.

I have a bad bad feeling

That my baby don't live here no more.

That's all right, I still got my guitar

Look out now...

I might as well go on back down

Go back 'cross yonder over the hill

I might as well go back over yonder

Way back over yonder 'cross the hill,

(That's where I came from.)

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,

I know her sister will!
