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
