There's a Red House over yonder.
That's where my baby stays.
Lord, there's a Red House over yonder.
Lord, that's where my baby stays.

I ain't been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
Wait a minute something's wrong here.
The key won't unlock this door.

Wait a minute something's wrong,
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 back over yonder,
way back upon the hill. (That's what I'm gonna do.)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder,
way back yonder 'cross the hill.

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will!
