Red House Lyrics

John Lee Hooker Red House

There's a redhouse1 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
