Lyrics
I'm going down to the house by the river
The house with the red light
I'm easing on down to the house by the river
The house with the red light
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Because my father told me, my brother told me
My uncle told me, my cousin told me
To go on down to the house by the river
The house with the red light
Working all week to go to the river
The house with the red light
Saving my money to go to the river
The house with the red light
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Because my father told me, my brother told me
My uncle told me, my cousin told me
To go on down to the house by the river
The house with the red light
There's a brown eyed girl down by the river
At the house with the red light
She's waiting for me on the stairs by the river
At the house with the red light
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Going to the top of the stairs tonight; I've got to go see myself
Because my father told me, my brother told me
My uncle told me, my cousin told me
