Lyrics

There’s a (A7)red house o ver yon der.

That’s where my ba by stays.

Lord, there’s a red house o ver yon der.

Lord, that’s where my ba by (A7)stays.

I ain’t been home to see my ba by

in nin ty nine and one half days.

Wait a (A7)min ute, some thing’s wrong here.

The key won’t un lock this door.

Wait a min ute, some thing’s wrong.

Lord, have mer cy, this key won’t un lock this (A7)door.

Some thing’s go ing wrong here.

I have a (E7)bad, bad feel in’

that my ba by don’t live here no (A7)more.

(A7)min ute, some thing’s wrong here.

The key won’t un lock this door.

Wait a min ute, some thing’s wrong.

Lord, have mer cy, this key won’t un lock this (A7)door.

Some thing’s go ing wrong here.

I have a (E7)bad, bad feel in’

Well, I might as well, uh, go back o ver yon der

way back a mong the hill.

Lord, I (D7)might as well go back o ver yon der

way back yon der ’cross the hill.

’Cause if my ba by don’t love me no more,

I (CN.C.)know her

sis ter will.
