Red House

There's a redhouse1 over yonder, that's where my baby

stays

Lord, there's a redhouse 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
