There's a red house over yonder,

That's where my baby stays

Lord, there's a red house over yonder

Lord, there's where my baby stays

I ain't been home to see my baby

In about ninty nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong here

The key won't unlock this door

something's wrong, lord, have mercy
This key won't unlock this door,

goin' Something's on here
I have a bad bad feeling

That my baby don't live her no more

Well, I might as well 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

'Cus if my baby don't love me no more...

know I her sister will

Yeah.
