Red House

(Well lookit here, baby)

Said there's a red house over yonder

That's where my-my baby stays.

Said there's-there's a red house over yonder, baby

Lord that's where my-my sugar sweetie stays

Lord knows I-I ain't seen my little darling

Been ninety-nine and one half days

(Sometimes that ain't long enough baby, I know. Not tonight!).

I said now wait a minute something's wrong

Said this 'ol key won't unlock this here door

I said now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,

Wait a minute, wait a minute baby

Wait a minute something's wrong

My key won't unlock this here door (Whew! Oh, no!)

Said I got me a bad, bad feeling

My sugar sweetie, she just don't live here no more

(So I'm makin' on down the road, see if I can by me some booty!).

Said I believe I go beyonder

I go beyonder way back up on over that 'ol hill

Said I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, babe

Babe I go beyonder way back over that big 'ol hill (Ow! Oh yeah!)

Said if my girl don't love me

I know her sister will

(And I don't know that she might not play a thing or two).
