There’s a Red House over yonder 
E                               B       B 
That’s where my baby stays 
E 
There’s a Red House over yonder, baby

That’s where my baby stays

Well, I ain’t been home to see my baby, 
                                       B      F# 
In ninety nine and one half days. 

B 
Wait a minute something’s wrong here 
E                                   B       B 
The key won’t unlock the door. 
E 
Wait a minute something’s wrong baby, 
E                                                             B         B 
Lord, have mercy, this key won’t unlock this door, 
(something’s goin’ on here) 
F#                                E 
I have a bad bad feeling 
                                             B         F# 
that my baby don’t live here no more. 
(That’s all right, I still got my guitar 
Look out now . . .)

I might as well go on back over yonder 
E                                           B     B 
Go back 'cross yonder over the hill

E                                              B     B 
Way back over yonder 'cross the hill, 
(That’s where I came from.) 
F#                                                E 
‘Cause if my baby don’t love me no more, 
                         B       F# 
I know her sister will.
