There's a red house over yonder, baby thank God
Lord that's where my sweet baby come from
Lord there's a red house over yonder
Lord, Lord that's where my baby lives
And Lord, I ain't been home to see my pretty baby
Lord, in about ninety nine and one half day, yeah

Wait a minute something's wrong
Lord have mercy, the key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute something's wrong
We all know something's wrong
Oh Lord, my baby gone and went change the lockl
And this one don't fit no more
Yeah, well i think, I think I've Got to get out of here
Because my Linda don't live here no more
But that's all right, I still got my guitar

Well I might asn well go back yonder
Way back over yonder across the hill
Yes, I might as well go back over yonder
Lord way over yonder across the hill
If my baby don't love me no more like she says she don't
Lord I know good and well that her sister will
