Red House

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.
