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.

That's all right I still got my guitar, watch out now

Well, I might as well a go back over yonder, way back up on the hill.
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.
