Red House Lyrics

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.

Well, I might as well a go back over yonder,
Way back up on the hill, that 's something to 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.
