There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
There's a red house over yonder, baby
That's where my baby stays
Well, I ain't been home to see my baby
In about ninety nine and one half days
'bout time I see her
Wait a minute, something's wrong.
The key won't unlock the door
Wait a minute, something's wrong, baby
The key won't unlock the door
I got a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more
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 yonder 'cross the hill
(That's where I come from)
'Cos if my baby don't love me no more
I know her sister will
