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!
