Red House

ThereÔÇÖs a Red House over yonder

ThatÔÇÖs where my baby stays

ThereÔÇÖs a Red House over yonder, baby

ThatÔÇÖs where my baby stays



Well, I ainÔÇÖt been home to see my baby,

in ninety nine and one half days.

'Bout time I see her,

Wait a minute somethingÔÇÖs wrong here

The key wonÔÇÖt unlock the door.



Wait a minute somethingÔÇÖs wrong baby,

Lord, have mercy, this key wonÔÇÖt unlock this door,

somethingÔÇÖs goinÔÇÖ on here.

I have a bad bad feeling

that my baby donÔÇÖt live here no more.



ThatÔÇÖs 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,

(ThatÔÇÖs where I came from.)



ÔÇ˙Cause if my baby donÔÇÖt love me no more,

I know her sister will
