..then Mr. Hendrix commences to sing whilst he`s playing lead, which is
more than I can say for myself.
The lyrics are:
There`s a red house over yonder.
That`s where my baby stays.
Lord, there`s a red house 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 gone wrong here--
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don`t live here no more.
That`s alright--I still got my guitar.
Look out, now!

At the ..., Hendrix repeats the 10p7, 7 lick a bunch of times, then
does a bit or two that I`ve got no idea how to play, then sings:
Well, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back among the hills.
Yeah, that`s what I`m gonna do.
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder acorss the hills.
Even if my baby don`t l_v_ me no more,
I know her sister will.
Now play a little blues "see ya" riff, and then play something else.
