Lyrics:
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 gone wrong here--
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more.
That's alright--I still got my guitar.
Well, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back among the hills.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder across the hills.
Even if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will.
i know you can play this song in lots of ways but this seems best for me.
