          A#7
There's a Red House over yonder
D#9                       A#7
That's where my baby stays
          D#9
There's a Red House over yonder, baby
                          A#7
That's where my baby stays
F9                                    D#9
Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,
                                 A#7 F9
in ninety nine and one half days.
       A#7
Wait a minute something's wrong here
D#9
The key won't unlock the door.
       A#7
Wait a minute something's wrong,
D#9                                           A#7
Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,
F9
I have a bad bad feeling
D#9                              A#7
that my baby don't live here no more.
That's all right, I still got my guitar
            F9
Look out now

Well I might as well uh, go on back down yonder
way back 'cross yonder hill
I might as well go back over yonder
way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
(That's where I came from.)
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will!
