Redhouse

There's a redhouse
over yonder, that's where my baby stays
Lord, there's a redhouse 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
