Ah yeah! 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 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 Yeah.
