Lyrics:

(Ah, yeah!)

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 stay
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, huh...
Lord have mercy, this key won't unlock this door
Something's gone wrong here...
I have a bad, bad feeling, uh...
That my baby don't live here no more

(That's alright, I still got my guitar – look out now!)
(Yeah...)
(Yeah, that's alright)

Well, I might as well, uh... go back over yonder
Way back up on the hill
(That's what I'm fin' to do)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yon' across the hill
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more...
I know her sister will!

(Yeah!)
