Lyrics
I'm going down to a house by the river, it's the house with the red light.
I'll be easing on down to the house by the river, it's the house with the red light.
And I'm 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
They said' "Go on down to the house by the river, the house with the red light.
I've been working all week to go to the river, the house with the red light
Been saving my money just to go to the river, the house with the red light
And I'm 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
They said' "Go on down to the house by the river, the house with the red light.
Well there's a brown eyed girl down by the river, the house with the red light
She's waiting for me on the stairs by the river at the house with the red light
And I'm 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
They said' "Go on down to the house by the river, the house with the red light.
