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 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.
